In this episode of ADHD Connect, Dr. Tish Taylor helps you hit the ground running with a back-to-school plan that supports your child’s executive functioning from day one. Whether your child struggles with staying on top of assignments, getting started, or just keeping track of what’s due, this episode offers practical strategies to build systems that actually work. Dr. Taylor walks you through how to:

• Create positive, proactive communication with teachers
• Set up simple organizational tools that reduce overwhelm
• Use digital tools like Focus Keeper and Freedom to promote focus and independence
• Establish accountability routines—without constant conflict

You’ll also learn how to tailor these systems for different age levels, and what to do if your child already has a 504 plan or IEP. Start the school year with clarity, confidence, and a plan that helps your child thrive.
