Organization Strategies for 2e Kids

Is your child bright, creative, and capable—but constantly losing things, overwhelmed by clutter, or struggling to keep schoolwork organized? If you’re parenting a twice‑exceptional (2e) child, traditional organization advice often misses the mark.

Join us on March 18th on Teams where Lisa Deily, from Creative Clutter Solutions will be sharing from her toolbox of organization strategies!

This parent-centered presentation will help you understand why organization is so challenging for neurodivergent learners—and what actually helps. We’ll explore how a child’s environment impacts attention, regulation, and learning, and how small, intentional changes can make a big difference.
