When youth struggle with planning and organization, they may have difficulty organizing their “stuff,” organizing information in their heads, or planning and executing a long-term project. Further, as they move beyond the elementary years, disorganized children and teens often struggle when they must juggle multiple demands that compete for their time and attention. They need direct, intensive help to develop successful habits. It is important that help with planning and organization be well-informed and offer more than only accommodations designed to fill in the gaps. Rather, systematic planning is needed to help individuals to build independence and success in the long run. Yet, parents and educators, who are most often responsible for creating plans to help disorganized youth, may struggle to do so with confidence and success. This workshop will offer practical information for adults who are tasked with helping disorganized youth. Participants will learn a model to assess the functional levels of children and teens on any organizational task, strategies to help the child make progress, and how to monitor development over time. We will incorporate general guidelines for teaching the skills and practical strategies that disorganized kids need. Specific examples will allow participants to apply the material.
