Tab dividers and notebooks can be used to help keep a student with ADD/ADHD organized. The tab dividers or subject dividers in a notebook can keep the notes from different subjects separate so that when it is time to transition it will be easy to find the correct notes. Tab dividers can be placed in a folder or binder to keep all loose papers organized and children will be less likely to lose papers. They must be taught how to use the dividers correctly and they have to get used to which colors are for which subjects. Not all students will benefit from this system. For loose papers, they may be too lazy to put the papers in the right spot or they may just stick the papers in their desk if the rest of the class is already transitioning to the next activity.

Audio books can be used during school for children with ADD/ADHD who cannot sit still to read a text. They can also be used at home if a student has to read as part of his/her homework. If an illness causes a student to miss school, the teacher can give the student, or his/her family, an audio book to listen to as part of a missed assignment, a textbook on CD to listen to, or a taped recording of a lecture that was given to help a student catch up. Noise levels are a factor in the clearness of the audio. With the textbook, it may be difficult for a student to find the correct part of the textbook to listen to and find the correct page number.
High Tech
Speech recognition software can be used for a student with ADHD if they need to write a paper. Writing and typing can take a while depending on the length of the paper and being able to speak the paper and have the software type it for you makes the process go by quicker. This will increase the odds of a student being able to focus and complete a task. Noise levels may impact the clarity of the student's voice which may change how the program picks up the speech. If a student doesn't proof read his/her work, there may be mistakes making the meaning unclear.
