Helping children when and where they need it most

The seemingly endless disruption of the pandemic has been hard on everyone, but for many kids with ADHD the challenges of remote learning and the loss of structure, activities and social connection have been especially difficult. As the pandemic drags on, many kids with attention challenges are falling behind, getting lost, and acting out in frustration.

This week on childmind.org we’re sharing resources for helping kids with ADHD stay connected, navigate remote learning and manage their behavior, including user-tested strategies for getting organized from someone who’s been there. "Organization isn’t a superpower," writes Rae Jacobson, who has ADHD. "It’s just a set of skills you don’t have yet."
