Course Description
If you’re a professional organizer, chances are excellent that you will at some point work with clients who are chronically disorganized. They may have a brain-based challenge, like ADHD, a mental health issue, like bipolar disorder, or a disability, like a traumatic brain injury or autism. This panel discussion will present client challenge examples, concrete solutions used, and the results of those techniques.
