A Smartwatch for Elizabeth who needs some help staying organized

Posted May 7, 2022
Because of past trauma, Elizabeth has a very difficult time remembering the things she needs to do day to everyday. She has tried several different methods of keeping herself organized, but nothing has worked well yet. Her therapist suggested a smart watch might be a great help to her and her mom, who often times acts as Elizabeth's external brain. Elizabeth is at the age where she wants to become more independent, but is having a hard time. She is excited to have a watch that might help make life a little bit easier for her.

Elizabeth is 14 years old and lives in CA

Elizabeth is a fighter and survivor! She has lived through things that many adults will never experience and all before the age of three. After moving between her foster family and biological family, she was finally adopted when she was five and a half. Despite the very traumatic beginning to life, she is doing very well. While she struggles with memory and self regulation, she is trying hard at school and getting excellent grades. When you meet her, you'd never know she struggles because she has the sweetest and most caring disposition. She loves dogs, cats, and horses! She and her younger sister, who was also adopted from foster care, loves playing with Legos and stuffed animals together.
