The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a digital solution that provides a variety of evidence-based interventions for executive functioning and attention deficits that are easy and effectively used by parents and teachers. Currently, delivery of evidence-based interventions for students with executive functioning/attention difficulties is impeded by several barriers including stress, lack of capacity, and lack of requisite knowledge about best practices. Using the proposed technology, users may select specific interventions based on a student’s executive function/attention deficit symptoms and/or diagnostic category. Once an intervention is selected, it may be individualized to fit the student’s unique profile of strengths and deficits prior to implementation by parent and teacher users. Positive impacts may include improved academic and social outcomes. This solution also may benefit schools and school districts by reducing the costs associated with the unintended consequences of unsupported executive function/attention difficulties, such as reducing staff turnover, reducing the need to hire professional development coaches, and increasing student grade retention.This I-Corps project is based on the development of a digital solution that translates a variety of evidence-based interventions for executive functioning and attention deficits that parents and teachers would be able to implement with fidelity. Executive functioning and attention deficits are commonly associated with a broad spectrum of psychopathologies. Effective nonpharmacological intervention approaches are those that are tailored to the individual and implemented when symptoms impede goal attainment. However, traditional effective executive functioning and attention interventions have historically been cumbersome to use and have lacked validity in the real-world context. The proposed technology uses a digital solution that translates traditional intervention approaches to mitigate executive functioning and attention deficit symptoms. Features that may amplify the efficacy of these digital approaches include psychoeducation, data collection and visualization, and home-school communication tools. The software is designed to provide users with a digital executive functioning and attention intervention technology that incorporates these best practices in order to make it easy for parents and teachers to consistently implement, track interventions with fidelity, and effectively reduce executive functioning and attention difficulties experienced by students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该 I-Corps 项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发一种数字解决方案，该解决方案为家长和教师轻松有效地使用针对执行功能和注意力缺陷的各种基于证据的干预措施。目前，对有执行功能/注意力困难的学生提供循证干预措施受到多种障碍的阻碍，包括压力、缺乏能力和缺乏有关最佳实践的必要知识。 使用所提出的技术，用户可以根据学生的执行功能/注意力缺陷症状和/或诊断类别选择特定的干预措施。一旦选择了干预措施，在家长和教师用户实施之前，可以对其进行个性化，以适应学生独特的优势和缺陷。 积极影响可能包括改善学术和社会成果。该解决方案还可能使学校和学区受益，因为它可以降低与不受支持的执行功能/注意力困难带来的意外后果相关的成本，例如减少员工流失、减少聘请专业发展教练的需要以及提高学生成绩保留率。该 I-Corps 项目基于数字解决方案的开发，该解决方案可以转化为家长和教师能够忠实实施的各种基于证据的针对执行功能和注意力缺陷的干预措施。执行功能和注意力缺陷通常与多种精神病理学相关。有效的非药物干预方法是针对个人量身定制的方法，并在症状阻碍目标实现时实施。然而，传统的有效执行功能和注意力干预措施历来使用起来很麻烦，并且在现实世界中缺乏有效性。拟议的技术使用数字解决方案，将传统的干预方法转化为减轻执行功能和注意力缺陷症状。可以增强这些数字方法功效的功能包括心理教育、数据收集和可视化以及家庭学校沟通工具。该软件旨在为用户提供数字化执行功能和注意力干预技术，融合了这些最佳实践，以便家长和教师能够轻松地持续实施、准确跟踪干预措施，并有效减少学生遇到的执行功能和注意力困难。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
