A system developed to help a stressed single parent manage the demands and schedules of two teens with ADHD, who were struggling through remote learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The project included designing a “time-wheel” for in-person and remote learning days, that incorporated healthy routines for work and play, while ensuring enough quality sleep for mom and kids.
