Many of you ADDers may be shocked to know that I love to web surf... especially when I have something more pressing and less interesting in front of me. I make sure to justify this by finding REALLY interesting content. Today I found this new animated video that is shot from the perspective of a student with ADHD. The video is available on YouTube and can be found on a minimalistic campaign website called "Living with ADHD."

The company who sponsored the video above, Jansen-Cilag, has also developed apps to help those with ADHD. You can download these for FREE in the iTunes app store.  

 

How's Today Been? is a smart phone app that has been developed by Janssen to help parents and caregivers of children with ADHD keep track of how their child's day has been.

 

Sorted: The daily organiser: Whether you are looking to get more organized yourself or are a parent or caregiver helping someone else prioritize day-to-day life, Sorted: The daily organiser is a good place to start. A simple task-setting oriented app, Sorted: The daily organiser allows you to quickly and easily create, categorize, and prioritize daily tasks.
