Organisation Skills
Your child loses belongings, forgets equipment, and can't keep track of things
Steps
- Create a 'launch pad' by the front door: a tray or shelf for everything they need tomorrow
- Pack bags the night before using a visual checklist
- Colour-code school folders and books by subject
- Use clear pencil cases so they can see what's inside
- Build a 'check before you leave' habit: bag, coat, water, lunch
What you need
A designated spot by the door, visual checklist, colour-coded supplies
Why it works
Children with ADHD and Dyspraxia have working memory and organisational processing difficulties that mean 'just remembering' is genuinely not possible. External systems — launch pads, checklists, colour coding — do the remembering for them, freeing up cognitive energy for actual learning.
Age guidance
Most impactful from age 5 onwards when school demands increase. These systems remain valuable well into adulthood.
Real-world example
A parent set up a tray by the front door and every evening the whole family put tomorrow's essentials on it. Their child went from forgetting something every day to forgetting something once a week. The system did what their memory couldn't.
Troubleshooting
- Don't expect them to 'just remember'. Externalise the memory with systems
- Duplicate essentials: keep spare pens, rulers etc. at school AND home
- Celebrate when the system works. 'You remembered everything today!'
