Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Disability Studies
  • Digital Media Research

Background:

  • Children and youth with disabilities often exhibit distinct patterns of screen time engagement.
  • Understanding screen time prevalence is vital for addressing potential health and developmental consequences in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize existing research on screen time among children and youth with disabilities.
  • To identify average screen time durations and adherence to guidelines within this demographic.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review model, enhanced by machine learning, was employed to identify relevant studies from seven online databases.
  • Data from 81 eligible English and French studies were synthesized based on participant age and screen time reporting type.
  • Random effects meta-analyses were performed to estimate daily screen time and guideline adherence.

Main Results:

  • Included studies reported screen time ranging from 0.5 to 7.27 hours per day.
  • Average daily screen time was approximately 3.70 hours for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), 3.28 hours for those with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and 3.39 hours for those with Cerebral Palsy (CP).
  • Significant variability in screen time was observed across different disability types.

Conclusions:

  • Screen use is a significant aspect of daily life for children and youth with disabilities.
  • Reducing excessive screen time is critical to mitigate associated health risks and negative consequences.
  • Targeted interventions and informed public health policies are necessary to address high screen time in this vulnerable population.
