Description

We are in uncharted waters when it comes to children’s technology usage and what it means for the psychological issues that will arise from it. With each passing year, mental health professionals are being forced to find answers for the negative aspects associated with this ever-increasing integration of technology and kids’ lives.

It is imperative that we share the best information we have available to us to help this vulnerable population. We can’t stop the advancement of technology, but we must collectively find ways to minimize the negative impacts that can come with it.

Join Dr. Melissa Westendorf in this recording as she navigates through:

  • The impact that technology has on a child’s developing brain
  • How to assess technology overuse and how much of an issue it is for your client
  • The 4 main areas that are impacted by technology in children
  • Special considerations for children who have ADHD, Autism, or Anxiety
  • Effective clinical strategies for working with children who are having issues with technology, as well as their parents.

Dr. Westendorf is a psychologist, attorney, and co-founder of the Technology Wellness Center. In her practice, she has assessed multiple young adults faced with legal consequences for behavior that was driven, in part, by technology overuse, which began in adolescence. The legal cases prompted her to co-found the Technology Wellness Center to provide tools and counseling to parents and children struggling with technology overuse issues.
