From Challenge to Innovation: Leveraging Technology for ADHD Management

Presentation Overview

Eleanor is a seasoned woman in tech, specialising in UX/UI and learning design, with a deep passion for leveraging technology to support neurodivergent individuals. After being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, she combined her lived experience with her professional expertise to develop digital systems that helped her manage overwhelm, improve productivity, and stay organised. Recognising the impact these tools had on her own life, she created MuddleMend—a newsletter and digital resource hub—to share these strategies and empower others with ADHD to navigate modern life more effectively.
In this talk, Eleanor will explore how technology can be harnessed to support neurodivergent minds. She will walk attendees through practical digital tools and systems designed to reduce overwhelm, enhance executive functioning, and simplify decision-making. Drawing from her experience in UX/UI and no-code development, she will demonstrate how tech-driven solutions can be personalised to create sustainable routines and boost focus.

Key Takeaways:
1. Common digital challenges for ADHD brains—including app overload, digital clutter, poor task-switching, and difficulty maintaining workflows.
2. How digital tools can support ADHD-related challenges—including task management, time tracking, and decision-making.
3. The power of no-code and AI-driven solutions in creating personalised productivity systems tailored for neurodivergent individuals.
4. Practical strategies to integrate technology into daily life—enhancing organisation, focus, and well-being.

By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of how to leverage technology to create ADHD-friendly systems that improve daily life. Whether seeking better structure, more effective task management, or simplified decision-making, attendees will walk away with actionable insights to help them navigate the modern world with confidence.
