Professional organizers play a crucial part to recovery. After cleanup and discarding has happened, the patient needs to figure out what to do with the items not throw away. Professional organizers teach:
· Organizing skills- sorting and categorizing
· Tools- Storage Bins, Filing bins, labeling
· Systems- scheduling normal life, filing papers like bills
(Schmalisch, 2010)
Professional organizers motivates the patient to de-clutter and works with family members and therapists. Most professional organizers will come to the patient’s home and assist in having the large amounts of clutter hauled away. (Schmalisch, 2010)
