[quote=Anonymous]A couple of things that worked for us were these.

1. After a few weeks, I took my son to Staples and let him get whatever he thought would help him stay organized. I did not veto anything but I did make him explain how he would use what he bought. It was not cheap but he has been using the same binder for five years so it was a good investment.

2. I had my son develop his own organization systems. He made a checklist of everything that had to be done at the start of each class. I laminated it and got him a wax pencil.

3. Everyday he had to make a homework plan. He could pick the time, place and supplies for his homework. If it didn’t work, he had to revise it the next day or justify keeping the same plan.

4. Sometimes I scribe or read to him.

5. 504 plan for extra time and notification to me for major projects and large assignments not turned in.

6. Medication - daily plus booster as needed.

This is not my disability so I don’t manage it. I facilitate my son managing it.

If I think of other things I’ll add to this. I’ve been on this journey for a long time. [/quote]
