Yesterday, my supervisor, Dr. Panagiota Dimitropoulou and I had the opportunity to give a presentation entitled "The use of innovative technologies for the assessment and training for children with neurodevelopmental disorders and learning difficulties" as part of Thursday's Seminars organized by the University of Crete's Research Center for the Humanities, the Social and Educational Sciences.

Innovative technologies (e.g., virtual reality, mixed reality, tablet/smartphones applications etc.) have gained the interest of various scientific fields including psychological research. Thus, there is an increasing integration of these technologies in measuring human behavior and in the process of intervention and training of new skills for children with NDDs and learning difficulties.

In our presentation, we talked about
a) how digital technologies can be used by researchers and professionals for the assessment and intervention of children with difficulties and
b) the 'Child ViReal Support' intervention program for children with attention deficits and their parents, which was implemented in Crete (Rethymno and Heraklion).
