BABY STORK A wearable, rotatable reminder that supports children with ADHD to manage their belongings in school. "My son is 8, he loses everything he takes to school with him." Time management and organisation are challenging for many people. For children diagnosed with ADHD, these challenges can become intensified. Children with ADHD may have trouble keeping track of tasks and activities, or they may forget to do homework. This project explores the notion of an ‘assistant’ to support primary school aged children with managing their belongings, removing this hurdle from their learning experience. Baby Stork grew out of a personal experience of growing up with ADHD, and a school life plagued with an inability to memorise to-do lists, forgetting books, and losing personal

belongings. As this project explored the literature surrounding ADHD and educational experiences, observed children, and gathered insights from parents, it revealed an opportunity space where a product may help facilitate day to day tasks in school, and increase communication between parent, child and teacher. Baby Stork is a wearable reminder that supports children with ADHD to manage their belongings.
