We have a few blogs in the mix coming up that will focus on assistive technology and tools to help increase your attention and concentration.
First up, we have outlined noise-canceling headsets that can aid people with ADD/ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder and other attention disabilities. We’ve discussed these headsets during one of our recent BITES meetings, a monthly support group focused on assistive technology for individuals with brain injuries. If you’re interested in a future meeting, you can join us on the third Wednesday of every month.
These four headsets will provide you with the serenity to focus on what you wish — not what’s all around you. There is a big difference between wearing the headphones that come with the latest iPhone compared to these headsets specifically made for canceling out unwanted noise.
A reliable pair of noise-canceling headphones is a great investment that will bring you years of pleasure, no matter where you are using them.
