ADHD - Success at School

A clutter-free system at home will help your ADHD child at school. Following are four tips from ADDitude Magazine:
• Order in the room – Separate ongoing projects, finished work, and school supplies into labeled bins or file cabinets. Provide a book case for books and a bulletin board for reminders.
• Simplify the paper flow – Prevent homework, permission slips and PTA letters from being lost or crumpled with clear, pocket-type folders –
labeled “Mail,” “Homework,” “Completed Homework” – to keep papers organized.
• Post a Family Calendar – It should show all upcoming activities, projects, and deadlines. Keep the calendar in a central place where the family can easily view it as part of their daily routine.
• Sticky Reminders – Give your child a stack of post-it-notes and encourage him to post specials reminders on mirrors, doors, and elsewhere.
