Episode notes

Implement a family strategy by dedicating 20 minutes each week to collective organization. Involve everyone in tasks like organizing digital documents, cleaning backpacks, or tidying study spaces, creating a fun atmosphere with music to energize participation. Encourage older children to manage their laptops while other family members tackle their own organizational tasks. Enhance the effectiveness of this routine through habit stacking by pairing new organization activities with established routines, ensuring seamless integration into daily life.

Ann Dolin, M.Ed., explains what a sustainable system looks like and how it can be a game changer for a student with ADHD, plus proven strategies to help your child effectively use a calendar system, maintain organizational routines, and more.
