[quote=Anonymous]I don't know where to begin. I am struggling with how to support my 11 year old DD who lacks executive functioning skills.  Right now I am trying to just focus on helping her keep her room in order. I can go in there and spend all day sorting, organizing, cleaning, decluttering, and literally in less than a week, it is worse than before.  I have tried having her manage just one thing - the desk, the dresser, the bed, but it doesn't help.  I am SAHM with 4 kids. I have tried doing her laundry from start to finish, including hanging everything so she can see it, but then it all still ends up on the floor.  I don't know if I should be getting her real help, or trying to tackle it on my own.  I am home during the day (although with a toddler, so time limited), so I feel that I should be able to manage this better. The other kids don't have this problem - ages 10 and 13, so I do think I must be missing something here.  It is so frustrating for me. It is impacting her quality of life and self-confidence, as she can't have friends over because of it, and she runs out of the house late because she can't find things, like her ear buds this morning and permission slip for field trip today... What advice can you give?[/quote]
