We've had organization as an IEP goal, under the purview of the special ed teacher (=resource). For a while we had a check-in at the end of the day for DS to learn how to look at his planner, figure out what books and papers needed to come home, etc. He still has daily planner check-ins in middle school.

IMO this should be done not as "here, let me organize that," but as methodical teaching of a repetitive skill, aiming for gradual independence.
