Abstract:
About 7-11% of children in the ages between 4 and 17 are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Despite this alarming rate and its deleterious effects on children in the academic as well as social settings, the current research in designing for ADHD is found wanting. The study here seeks to delve in depth about the need for designers to develop domain knowledge about ADHD, some key points to keep in mind while designing for children as well as evaluating the current applications in terms of how they cater to their ADHD audience, culminating by offering a design-thinking approach which could help alleviate some of the aforementioned flaws.
