Exploring Digital and Manual Modalities in Educational Activities for Children with ADHD

Planning and conducting educational activities for children with ADHD represents a methodical and precise endeavor. Teachers plan the educational activities but also have to adapt each educational session based on the child’s emotional state. Digital technologies are often suggested as a means to provide engaging learning resources and to help children with their academic achievements. Therefore, we developed a supportive software based on an educational activity where we aim to help children reinforce learning abilities. We conducted a controlled study to compare the manual and digital modalities of the educational activity. Our analysis reveals sentiment findings when new technology is introduced. Our findings suggest that using educational activities enhanced with digital technology has potential benefits and may allow teachers and children achieve academic goals yet providing a ludic educational experience for children.
