What are the benefits and risks of digital play and video games for neurodivergent kids? Clinical psychologist Randy Kulman focuses on children diagnosed with ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, and learning disabilities, sharing research on how kids learn from screens and concerns such as addiction and the effect on mood. He provides specific recommendations on making screen time more productive, choosing games and technology that can help neurodivergent kids, balancing screen time with other activities, and setting effective limits.
