Organizing for Back to School for 2e / Neurodivergent Learners

At the July 2025 PHP REEL Support Group, Leisa, a 2e/neurodivergent parent and professional from Calm in Chaos Co who specializes in organizing spaces for neurodivergent brains and lifestyles, spoke about organizing for back to school.

She follows a “strengths-based” philosophy. "What strengths do I have and how can I use my strengths and awareness of struggles to organize our spaces to work for us?"

She offered great tips like, “take sensory sensitivity into consideration when designing your study space." "What kind of seating options does your ADHD child have (a variety)?" "Is the lighting comfortable?" "Start small."
