Organisation Skills

Your child loses belongings, forgets equipment, and can't keep track of things

Steps

  1. Create a 'launch pad' by the front door: a tray or shelf for everything they need tomorrow
  2. Pack bags the night before using a visual checklist
  3. Colour-code school folders and books by subject
  4. Use clear pencil cases so they can see what's inside
  5. 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.
