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.

这个I-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发一种数字解决方案，为家长和教师容易有效地使用的执行功能和注意力缺陷提供各种基于证据的干预措施。目前，为有执行功能/注意力困难的学生提供循证干预措施受到几个障碍的阻碍，包括压力，缺乏能力和缺乏关于最佳做法的必要知识。 使用所提出的技术，用户可以基于学生的执行功能/注意力缺陷症状和/或诊断类别来选择特定的干预。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处理，以适合学生独特的优势和缺陷概况。 积极影响可能包括改善学术和社会成果。这种解决方案还可以通过减少与不受支持的执行功能/注意力困难的意外后果相关的成本来使学校和学区受益，例如减少员工流动率，减少雇用专业发展教练的需要，和提高学生成绩保持率。这个I-Corps项目是基于数字解决方案的开发，该解决方案将各种证据-基于执行功能和注意力缺陷的干预措施，家长和教师将能够忠实地实施。执行功能和注意力缺陷通常与广泛的精神病理学有关。有效的非药物干预方法是那些针对个人和症状阻碍目标实现时实施。然而，传统的有效的执行功能和注意力干预历来是繁琐的使用，并在现实世界中缺乏有效性。该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执行功能和注意力干预技术，该技术结合了这些最佳实践，以便家长和教师能够轻松一致地实施，跟踪干预措施，并有效地减少学生的执行功能和注意力困难。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
