Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop an application to time management support for university students with developmental disabilities. We made a pilot version of the application with a TODO list and a message function that encourages time management. We tried it with students who were interested in the application. The use of the application improved students' awareness of their tasks and the amount of assignments they could complete. On the other hand, students pointed out the need for improvement in the TODO list and the display of messages , and the application was revised repeatedly.
