Devorah Heitner, PhD
I’m Devorah Heitner, author and speaker. My keynotes and workshops offer practical, timely, non-judgmental advice about technology and parenting in the digital age. Schools and nonprofits consult with me about digital wellness policies and when the fit is right, I consult with app developers and tech companies to help design ethical products and messaging to kids. My two books on parenting and technology are Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive (and Survive) in Their Digital World and – coming in September 2023 – Growing up in Public: Coming Of Age In A Digital World. I earned a PhD in Media/Technology and Society from Northwestern University. You can find my writing on kids and technology in the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN Opinion, Fast Company and other places. I’m also the parent of a teenager.
