This project explores how assistive technology can be useful for users with ADHD when it comes to their usage of smartphones. The design explores the importance of role and interaction aesthetic in regards to designing assistive technology. Additionally, this paper highlights the importance of including users with disabilities in the design and research process. The study focuses on the lived experience of an individual with ADHD rather than looking at symptoms in order to get closer to the needs and issues of the end user. The results show that focusing on the daily life of the user rather than their symptoms brings the research closer to the actual needs. The design solution offers an interactive social media post that takes the users in-situ needs into consideration by proposing multiple cues to take a break from social media. By creating actionable insights it gives the user agency and better support in comparison to other screen time-management tools.
