Goally- thoughts, experiences, concerns?
Hi all, new here with a newly diagnosed AuDHD 4 year old son (PDA traits). Some of the areas that were flagged on his evaluation stemmed from the usual challenges, specifically: social skills, emotional regulation, self direction, executive functioning & life skills, and problematic behavior. We’ve been working on addressing strategies for a few months now, but recently saw an ad for Goally and especially liked the morning/evening routine piece as this is an area we struggle with (especially with the ADHD and demand avoidance). I use a similar, adult app to help with my own executive functioning each day and find it very helpful. I was curious about the following:
I wanted to see if anyone else had any insights into this specific device/app?
Are there concerns with having a child this young having access to the device? I worry about power struggles when the routine is complete and they want to play one of the (albeit safe and educational) games. I’ve seen reports that kids can become more dysregulated by device/tv usage?
Can you get just the Goally app on an iPad without having to buy their tablet?
Any advice or insight is much appreciated, as we navigate these new waters! Thanks so much to this entire community.
