Introduction

According to additudemag.com, “What it often becomes, however, is a disaster area. When your child with attention deficit disorder (ADD ADHD) can’t find things in his locker, he’ll show up in class without a notebook or resort to carrying everything in his backpack. When he has to dig through clutter to find his hockey gear, he’ll be late for practice, class, or the bus home.”  This short passage refers to the connection between the disorganization skills exhibited by a student with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and the ability to organize one’s locker with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.  This article will provide the reader with helpful questions to ask oneself during the school day, as well as helpful tips to organize one’s locker with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
