For the parent who sighs when they discover yet another tattered paper randomly stuffed into the black hole of their child ’s backpack, The Organized Child: An Effective Program to Maximize Your Kid’s Potential—in School and in Life might be a book for them. Dr. Gallagher and colleagues have written a book for parents to teach skills to their organizationally challenged 7- to 13-year-olds.1 These techniques are a dapted from the Organizational Skills Program, which was created by Gallagher and colleagues, and, unlike the book reviewed here, is delivered by clinicians and has been shown to be effective for improving skills in children with ADHD.
