Abstract [en]

Obtaining a driver's license can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, unlocking opportunities in terms of employment and social participation. However, earning a driver’s license can be challenging, especially for individuals with ADHD. Common symptoms of ADHD include difficulties focusing, planning, organizing, and completing tasks. These challenges can hinder individuals in completing the steps essential for driver education, such as structuring training and studying for the theoretical test. Based on existing theory and interviews with driving instructors, we have developed a prototype for an app designed to aid people with ADHD during the driver’s license process. The interviews focused on challenges individuals with ADHD face throughout the process. We found that studying for the theoretical test and maintaining structure were often challenging. The app design includes features to help users plan and structure their driver’s education, as well as interactive tools for studying theory. The app is based on previous research concerning the benefits of interactive learning for individuals with attention deficits, and research on how technology can help people with ADHD create structure and achieve their goals. We plan to continue developing the app by conducting usability and validation studies. The app will be demonstrated at the conference.
