About this listen

Join ACAMH Young Person Ambassador Clara Faria as she speaks with Associate Professor Thomas Gargot, a leading expert in technology-driven mental health solutions for children and young people with neurodevelopmental conditions. Professor Gargot, winner of the 2024 ACAMH Digital Innovation Award for Best Digital Intervention, delves into his pioneering research on using electronic tablets and robotics to support children with writing difficulties, such as dysgraphia, and explores the crucial connections between handwriting, learning, and cognitive development.

This episode unpacks innovative digital interventions—including rehabilitative robotic companions and scalable handwriting assessment apps—collaborative efforts between academia and startups, and the challenges and opportunities of implementing tech-based re-education tools in real-world settings. Discover how modern technology is transforming support for neurodevelopmental disorders like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, and what the future holds for evidence-based, accessible interventions.

Whether you're a clinician, educator, parent, or researcher, this conversation offers invaluable insights into how digital innovation is shaping the future of care for children facing neurodevelopmental challenges.
