  • Portable electronic devices as memory and Organizational Aids after traumatic brain injury: a consumer survey study.
    The Journal of head trauma rehabilitation, 2004
    Co-Authors: Tessa Hart, Regina Buchhofer, Monica Vaccaro
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE To ascertain consumer experiences and attitudes regarding the use of portable electronic devices as memory and Organizational Aids after traumatic brain injury (TBI). DESIGN Survey study. SETTING Post-acute TBI rehabilitation programs, research registries. PARTICIPANTS Eighty persons with moderate to severe TBI interviewed a median of 3.7 years postinjury. OUTCOME MEASURE Survey administered in structured interview format, analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. RESULTS Two thirds of participants reported regular use of computers, but fewer than one third had experience with hand-held computers or similar devices. Interest in using portable devices for everyday memory and Organizational tasks was higher than the expressed need for improvement in participants' current strategies. Respondents expressed reliable preferences for key device features, including simplicity of use, technical support, and long-lasting battery power. Preferred functions included keeping track of money spent, remembering things to do, and remembering what other people say. CONCLUSION Portable electronic devices are acceptable or desirable by consumers with moderate to severe TBI for use as compensatory Aids.

  • Head Start Parents' Reports of Managing Time to Support Parent Involvement
    2014
    Co-Authors: Heather S. Wallace, Sandra Twardosz
    Abstract:

    In order to encourage parents’ involvement in children’s learning and development, teachers in one Head Start program sent a developmentally appropriate activity, linked to the classroom curriculum, home each week for parents and children to do together.  This exploratory study used focus groups to examine how parents made the time to complete these “homework” activities.  Parents reported using a variety of time management strategies and supports such as Organizational Aids, supportive family members, routines, and a flexible time perspective. They also discussed the obstacles they faced in managing time such as work schedules, high levels of parental stress, and household responsibilities.  These results are limited by sample size and characteristics. However, asking parents how they make the time to be involved with their children may result in information that can be shared with other Head Start families who are struggling with this issue.

  • Organization Interventions for Children and Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
    Issues in Clinical Child Psychology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Jennifer L. Storer, Steven W. Evans, Joshua M. Langberg
    Abstract:

    Disorganization (of time, tasks, and materials) is a core difficulty underlying the functional impairments associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). This chapter discusses the role of Organizational deficits in ADHD symptomatology and reviews school-related interventions designed to target these Organizational deficits in youth with ADHD, including evidence of their efficacy and limitations of existing studies. Common strategies among intervention programs include teaching youth to more effectively monitor their own behavior, reinforcing progress in Organizational strategies, providing Organizational instruction and skill-building, and the use of external Organizational Aids. Evidence suggests that these interventions are efficacious in improving Organizational skills and acceptable to parents, teachers, and school staff involved with implementation. Areas for future research are discussed.
