Say Goodbye to Distractions and Hello to Guided Access

Digital devices provide wonderful benefits.  With more tools and information in the palm of our hand, comes more distraction from the world right in front of us. Is this a bad thing? No, not necessarily, so long as you are an individual who can prioritize and manage your time spent on digital devices.  What about an adult or child who struggles with prioritizing tasks and time management? For example, prioritizing and scheduling can sometimes be challenging, if not impossible, for a child or adult with a disability such as (but not limited to) ADHD, Autism, or traumatic brain injury (TBI). For those individuals, digital devices can become a distraction, so much so that life around them becomes less important than what is on the screen in front of them and things such as important events, personal grooming, and sometimes even eating gets forgotten.   http://ndipat.org/blog/say-goodbye-to-distractions-and-hello-to-guided-access/
