My 6 year old DS is in first grade and may have some executive functioning issues. I'm working through some books on the subject while we deal with some additional evaluation and assessment.

One problem he had last year has reappeared this year and I'm wondering if anyone has some specific suggestions to help. Basically, he has a tendency to forget things. I can't send plastic containers in his lunch box because he occasionally throws them out by accident (which upsets him very much). I still have to send a lunch box, though, and he regularly leaves it places by mistake. He left it on the playground in Friday.

Are there any little things I could try to help him remember it, especially after recess? I could put a note on his desk, but he wouldn't be allowed to go back out for it. I'm not sure if there is anything else that might help.
