Description:

The purpose of this workshop is to summarize the current knowledge base on the use of digital devices by children and adolescents and its link to sleep issues, anxiety and depression. Case vignettes will be utilized to illustrate the present problem. Attention will be given to how a clinician can integrate an assessment of digital use into their intake interview and the use of self-report measures that address digital overuse. The role of the clinician in supporting a family in developing a digital floor plan and a family digital plan will be reviewed. The use of specific cognitive and behavior strategies to support a real world and virtual world balance will be reviewed. A sample effective family digital plan will be presented.


Goals and Objectives:

Attendees will be able to:

  1. Review research on the current use of digital devices amongst children, teens and

    young adults and the evidence of digital addictions.

  2. Describe case study vignettes that reflect digital overuse as a precursor to sleep

    problems, anxiety and depression.

  3. Review the importance of assessing digital use and real world/virtual world

    balance in intake interviews and self-report measures. Identify specific assessment

    tools to assess the severity of overuse.

  4. Identify interventions for developing balance in digital usage, including the digital

    floor plan and the digital family plan. Review the importance of modeling, consistency of expectations/consequences, balance and reinforcement.
