Assistive technology for ADHD reduces cognitive load and supports sustained attention. Text-to-speech software reduces reading demands by allowing people to process information through listening, minimizing the sustained attention required for decoding.
Screen masking minimizes visual distractions by focusing attention on specific content. Organizational tools support task management and break work into clear, prioritized steps without relying on working memory. Visual planning tools help organize thoughts and projects through visual maps rather than linear text.
Read&Write provides these supports in education settings, and Everway for Work extends them to workplace contexts with MindView for visual planning and Tasks for work organization.
Together, these technologies break information into manageable chunks and provide alternative pathways for accessing, processing and organizing information that work with ADHD rather than against it.
