“…Researchers and developers in digital health interventions for ADHD should aim to centre ADHD voices. 28 Engaging service users in the design of digital health interventions is also essential to meeting their needs and to ensuring that the technologies are more engaging, feasible, acceptable and effective. 29,30 While service user perspectives are crucial for the successful implementation and adoption of digital health interventions, there is no research on the specific educational needs of adults with ADHD to inform their development.…”

“…43 Identifying priorities for neurodivergent people is particularly pertinent as research has shown that there are gaps between available and desired interventions for neurodivergent people and that outcomes are not aligned with the needs of the community. 47 In ADHD digital interventions, the focus has traditionally been on disciplining ADHD traits 28 and adopting a medical model of disability, thus marginalizing neurodivergent users. 48 A Delphi method aimed at achieving consensus on educational topics and adaptions to interfaces between experts by experience could help identify priorities of adults with ADHD.…”

Introduction A lack of knowledge about attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can contribute to feelings of distress and difficulty in seeking and accepting an ADHD diagnosis. The present study uses a Delphi consensus design to investigate the psychoeducational needs of adults with ADHD and the information about ADHD they would like included in digital health interventions for adults with ADHD. Inclusion of perspectives of service users in developing such interventions ensures that they are evidence based and addresses the risks of engagement barriers. Methods The expert panel consisted of 43 adults with ADHD (age range: 23–67 years). Panel members were asked to rate the importance of the proposed topics and provide additional suggestions. Suggested topics and topics that did not achieve consensus were included for ranking in the second round. Results Interquartile ratings were used to determine consensus. A high consensus was achieved in both rounds, with an agreement on 94% of topics in the first round and 98% in the second round. Most topics were rated as important or essential. Conclusions The findings highlighted that adults with ADHD want to learn about many different aspects of ADHD and the importance of considering their perspectives when developing psychosocial interventions. Findings can be applied when creating psychoeducational content for adult ADHD. Patient or Public Contribution Adults with ADHD were recruited to the Delphi panel to use an experts‐by‐experience approach. In doing so, we are engaging service users in the development of a psychoeducational smartphone app. The evaluation of the app will involve interviews with app users. Additionally, the present study was developed and conducted with ADHD Ireland, a charity based in Ireland that advocates for people with ADHD.

“…Historically, the accessibility research community has primarily focused on designing assistive technologies and systems related to single categories of impairments. In other words, accessibility researchers often focus on evaluating technologies and addressing the needs of technology users who experience a single type of sensory [25,27], cognitive [16,18], or physical impairment [4,26] at a time. While this approach is justifable and contributes to the advancement of the accessibility feld, many researchers argue that designing accessible systems and assistive technologies for one impairment at a time contributes to an oversimplifcation of disability and does not refect real-world experiences of a signifcant number of users of technology who live with multiple impairments [5,14,23].…”

Historically, the accessibility community has focused on designing assistive technologies and systems related to single categories of impairments. While this approach is justifable and contributes to the advancement of the feld, many researchers argue that designing technologies for one impairment at a time contributes to an oversimplifcation of disability and does not refect real-world experiences of a signifcant number of users who live with multiple impairments. How can the accessibility feld leverage theories and concepts from other disciplines (e.g. disability studies, medical humanities, social work, engineering, education) to support more appropriate and inclusive technologies for users with complex needs? How can future assistive technologies take into consideration a diverse combination of sensory, cognitive, and physical characteristics? In this workshop, we invite researchers and practitioners from diferent disciplines to share their perspectives related to challenges and opportunities in designing accessible systems that consider the multidimensional and often complex needs of users living with multiple impairments. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Accessibility; Accessibility theory, concepts and paradigms; • Social and professional topics → User characteristics; People with disabilities.

We design a server-client system that collects students’ engagement information and reports it to a centralized server to help teachers assist neurodivergent students in order to provide a visual representation of students’ engagement status aiming to promote an equal learning opportunity for neurodivergent students [6]. In recent years, everyone throughout the globe are all seeking higher education, either for themselves, or for their children. Students are learning an increasing amount in classes and have needed to spend a lot more effort and attention to succeed. In this race for higher education, a specific group of underrepresented minorities has been left behind. This group being the neurodivergent population, specifically high-functioning people with ASD(Autism Spectrum Disorder) [7]. These students often require more attention due to hypersensitivity, and a shorter attention span than the neurotypical populace. These students have all that's necessary to learn and understand the material, although teachers are often stuck to a faster pace curriculum that does not easily allot so much attention to a singular student. Due to this problem many teachers believe that a efficient way to passively gauge these students attentiveness would significantly benefit their education. This paper develops a server-client system that collects students’ engagement information and reports it to a centralized server to help teachers assist neurodivergent students in order to provide a visual representation of students’ engagement status aiming to promote an equal learning opportunity for neurodivergent students. We applied our application to [Class] and conducted an Evaluation of the approach based on the qualitative data collected from the students.
