SCHOOL ORGANIZATION
Have a child who has trouble staying organized at school? Are you struggling to keep track of what is what in their school work and homework? Come listen to a former teacher’s aide who was assigned to help create organization systems to help students stay organized and improve home to school communication. Instructor will share what she is currently using with her own child who attends 157c and suffers from ADHD and Autism. This system can be started as young as 3rd or 4th grade and you can build and add to the system as your child’s school demands change, all the way through high school. This system will alleviate stress on the student, teacher and parents. It includes a way to organize subjects, paperwork, and even works in conjunction with specific apps as the student grows into a more advanced way of organizing. Your child is never too young or too old to start an organizational system. This system can also be customized to fit your child’s individual needs. It works great for both special ed and regular ed students who need a little assistance in organization.
