Question

What are some ADHD tools, tips, tricks, tech that will make things better visually besides voice dictation?

Answer 1

Some additional ADHD tools that can be used include Ghotit and Ginger. The two software mainly help students with dyslexia, among other learning disorders, to learn writing. On the other hand, other tools can be adopted in addition to using technology such as sound field systems, FM systems, low tech handouts, graphic organizers, and text-to-speech tools. For example, visual reminders can be used, such as counting to ten (CTT), listening to be present (LABP), and time to focus (TTF), using a timer for various tasks. In this case, the trick is to ensure that the amount allocated for each task is enough to complete it. Similarly, handheld fidgets can be used, such as paper for doodling, a pen to twirl, or a “koosh” ball to squeeze. Calming techniques can also be used to gather and slow down thoughts when feelings become too intense. On the same note writing down things to do for preparation can help ADHD individuals learn what to say in advance.
