LESLIE LIKES: Gear Up! ADHD Back-to-School Supplies
Forget the generic school supply list. This is gear, hand-picked for brains that think differently. You know, the ones that lose the pencil case by 8 am, forget where they put the planner, and need a system built for THEM. Every item on this list is tried and true because it does a job. It makes the invisible visible, cuts down decision fatigue, and builds routines that stick. Think of it as outfitting the gym before training starts. You wouldn't show up to lift without the right equipment, and your student shouldn't start the school year without tools built for how their brain actually works. Let's gear up.
Samsill Organizer with Notepad and Clipboard
Loose papers have a way of disappearing when you have ADHD. This all-in-one organizer keeps important forms, notes, and assignments together in one place, making it much easier to stay organized and remember what needs to get done.
Order Out of Chaos Academic Planners
Planning isn't just about writing things down; it's about learning to see your time. This planner helps students organize homework, tests, activities, and free time all in one place, making time management less overwhelming and much more achievable.
Adjustable Laptop Stand
A more comfortable workspace can make a big difference in focus. Raising your laptop to eye level encourages better posture, reduces distractions caused by discomfort, and creates a dedicated space that's ready for productive work.
Magnetic Pencil Holder for Lockers and Whiteboards
How much time gets wasted looking for a pencil? This magnetic holder keeps writing supplies exactly where students need them, cutting down on those daily "Where did I put it?" moments.
Label Maker
ADHD brains thrive on systems that make things easy to find. Label bins, folders, drawers, and supplies so everything has a home—and staying organized becomes much easier to maintain.
Cable Organizer Pouch for Cords, Chargers, Phones, Earbuds
Chargers, earbuds, and cords seem to vanish at the worst possible times. A cable organizer keeps all those tech essentials together, reducing stress and preventing those last-minute searches before class.
Pencil Gidgets
Fidgeting isn't a distraction; it's often a strategy for staying focused. These pencil toppers give busy hands something quiet to do while students continue taking notes and paying attention.
Index Cards with Binder Rings
Flashcards are a great study tool, but only if they stay together. Binder rings keep cards organized by subject so students can study anywhere without worrying about losing half the deck.
Erasable Gel Pens
Erasable pens let students make changes without crossing everything out, keeping notes neat while reducing perfectionism and frustration.
Transparent Highlighter Tape
Highlighting directly in textbooks isn't always an option. This removable tape lets students mark important information, then reposition or remove it later without damaging the page.
Magazine Files
Magazine files will be your student’s best friend for school supply organization, especially when dorm and bedrooms are short on surface space. If his desk has a hutch, place the magazine files on top, label one for each class, and place all his books, folders, etc. in them when not in use.
Dry Erase Cork Board Combo Message Center
Use this dry erase/cork board combo to hold papers you need to quickly access, keep to-do lists in sight, and make the daily schedule easily visible to all.
