37: Technology Aids for ADHD with Kat Hunt

Technology can be challenging for those with ADHD, and I’ll admit that I’ve struggled at times in this area. If you are someone who responds better to tactile and visual learning, you can probably relate. There are many tools and hacks available to help with executive functioning issues, and I’m excited to learn more in today’s show. I’m joined by technology expert Kat Hunt, who is raising a neurodivergent daughter. Let’s learn more about technological aids that can be helpful for ADHD. Join us!

Show Highlights:

• Dopamine-seeking or dopamine-resisting behaviors
• Solution: Forest app
• Why mobile access to these tools is preferable over a physical tool, especially for those who travel or move from home to office frequently
