[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is in 5th grade.  ADHD-combined type.  Mostly going well (not yet medicated), but he is in compacted math so it’s in a different classroom than his home room.

About 50% of the time, he forgets his math folder/homework at school.   After he returns from math to home room, he puts folder in cubby above backpack.  He rushes bc classmates are already moving on from math.  Then at end of day, he rushes to pack up and forgets to put folder into backpack.  He rushes then bc he doesn’t want to be late for safety patrol duties.

Any ideas for 504 accommodations that could help?  Or anything else?  He doesn’t notice the visual reminders we have tried, and I am just not sure how else to help.  [/quote]

Have you tried a laminated card attached by a short string to the zipper of his backpack? He can't close the backpack without grabbing/seeking the cord.

His math teacher should be ending early enough to allow kids to return to homeroom and pack up with other kids. Homeroom teacher should also be ending class early enough for kids to have time packing up - 5 mins before the bell rings.

Also, why is he putting the folder in the cubby above the backpack?  It should go directly in the backpack.  I, a grown ADHD adult, operate by the bag rule - there's a purse (or work bag or school bag).  Anything you want to take goes directly in the bag.  After years of losing keys, I learned this - car keys can only be in one of two places - in my purse or in the ignition. No pockets, counters, tables, whatever. I even have one of those telephone curly cords from inside my purse to the key ring so that I can't leave the keys in the door (cuz they are technically still attached to my purse.

My ADHD kids also use the bag method.  Backpack is in the same place every night at home.  Everything that is school related lives in the bag and when you are done with it you have to put it bag in the bag immediately.  [/quote]
