N2 - A large body of evidence supports that people with attention deficit disorder (ADD) have difficulties organizing and remembering daily activities because they are easily distracted. Specifically, the group of school children with ADD has problems when it comes to time management and planning tasks for each subject. The main objective of this approach is to provide a support tool to solve or minimize the difficulties associated with "time management skills", to reinforce social skills and foster their motivation to perform any task. Therefore, this project presents a technological solution that allows developing that skill by an application made for Smartphones, which provides a fully customizable agenda adaptable to the needs of children with ADD and accessible by their tutors and family. This project fulfills a technical and a social purpose because it is demonstrated the acceptance of this collective to ICT using daily elements of their personal and school live.
