[quote=Anonymous]Those of you with kids who have EF and ADHD challenges — what did you find that helped keep them organized? Mine is a freshman in high school and it has been a tough transition.

She is missing assignments (seriously affecting her grades) and turning in things late. Now, I’m not exactly sure how the lateness is measured bc she does have an IEP with extended time. For the things that are missing, she almost always swears she did it. I don’t think she’s lying bc she knows I check regularly or get notices when things aren’t turned in. I think she starts and thinks she turned them in and just forget, and never gets back to it.

What would help — a Google doc listing everything? She’s in a resource class and they’re supposed to be helping with this but it’s still happening.

Fwiw, she also has dyslexia/dysgraphia.

She has a couple Ds and I am seriously worried she will end up in summer school. Which wouldn’t be the end of the world but it would bite in to her other plans of working.

When we talk about it, she sometimes will be calm but also gets defensive (don’t you think I’m trying?!)

Help!
