Abstract
Outcome
- Children with a disability use just as 'normal' kids media devices.
- behavioral problems are related with more use of game consoles and laptops, mental problems are related with more smartphone use.
- professionals from healthcare are more negative than educational professionals.
- Common problems are: excessive media use, little knowledge of media, and unwanted behavior.
- Most professionals are actively using digital materials to support childrens' media use, however, this is more in the educational field than in healthcare.
- If professionals from healthcare use digital materials, these are mostly free materials and used at random. In the educational field they are more likely to have a policy to use digital materials.
- All professionals state they want to have more information and access to supporting materials for media literacy and education. Especially how materials are adjusted for youth with disabilities, which themes it concerns and with which goals the materials can be used.
