Out of sight out of mind is probably one of the best descriptions of ADHD. We need important items and reminders in front of us and it needs to capture our attention.

So that's what we're going to talk about today. Why visual cues for busy adults with ADHD can be a game changer. Well many of us have challenges with short term memory, visual cues and aids can help us tremendously.
