Can anyone suggest a good planner for a teen girl with ADHD?

DD has ADHD (recently diagnosed) and has serious issues with organisation no shit Sherlock . Wondering if anyone can suggest a planner that might be good. I was looking at CGD London, which does lovely ones, but they don't have calendar dates on them and I can't imagine DD managing to be organised enough to put them in herself..... I like the idea of various sections on each page (exercise, meditation, things to remember etc.) and think she might like that. Has anyone found anything good? TIA.

No, because DD bought herself any number of diaries and always lost them. Ditto - when she puts reminder alarms on her phone, she hears it go off, when she is in the middle of something and thinks she will attend to whatever it is, after she has finished what she is doing. Then she forgets all about it.

Sometimes, when she is sent instructions, she does not read them properly, so thinks she knows what she is supposed to be doing; when actually she doesn't. So for instance, she recently had a test in hospital in the afternoon. They sent page 1 of instructions for people with a test in the morning, and page 2 for people in the afternoon. She only read page 1, failing to notice it was for people in the morning....so got it wrong.

The instructions also told her she needed to take a dressing gown and slippers to the hospital. She forgot those, and only remembered as we were pulling up by the main entrance!

Basically, no organiser or reminder works for her, because of the above!
