If you have a child with either ADHD or ADD or if you are diagnosed with one, you know how difficult organization can be. Many times it seems that there is a trail of mess and destruction following your child. You can see the path they took while changing their clothes or while taking off their backpack, shoes, and jacket after coming home from school. Their folders and binders explode with week-old, half-completed assignments when you open them and their planners have yet to be opened. There is rarely a spot of carpet that can be seen on the floor of their bedroom and you think, “No wonder they can’t ever find their soccer cleats.” If your child struggles with executive function, they will probably also struggle with cleaning their room and keeping their school work organized among other things. As frustrating as this can be, it is our job as parents to find strategies to help.
