[quote=Anonymous]The most effective intervention we did for my son was not something implemented at school.  Rather, we did it at home.  We taught him that everything had a place and to put everything in its place even if you're just putting it down for a minute.  That required that every time he got something new, we had to figure out its place.  Same with seasons changing - where do hats, gloves, boots, etc go.  I always went to the pre-start of school open house so that we could learn where and how things were stored in the classroom and we could identify where his belongings would be.  There was no generalizing about things - like, it didn't just go in the backpack, but it went in a specific place in the backpack that we defined.  This really helped him think in an organized way, which generalized to other areas.

One thing the school did was that they taped a checklist to his desk every morning before he got there that included all of the things he needed to do before he was ready to sit at his desk.  Even before he could read, it was effective because he knew what each item was.  After completing a task, he'd check it off and move to the next one.

This is really not an ES support that was provided, but when he hit MS, they would carefully choose when he would have which classes so that he would be in the more challenging ones when he was better able to focus.  [/quote]
