Catching up on my email reading this morning… and found this great idea resource shared by NAMI. The site is called “Understood” and it includes a number of resources for “attention and learning issues.” In the parent’s toolkit section, there are printable backpack checklists for different age kids that can be made into a luggage tag. What a great idea! There are also some sample “contracts” parents can make with their children regarding homework and cell phone use.

I did not fully research or “vet” the site but it does look like everything on the site is available for free and there seems to be a good depth of resources and information. I may not use the sample luggage tag but I really like the idea and may have to make some tags for my own cases. Whenever I leave to teach a course I always find myself wondering “What am I forgetting…?”
