Of course, at a therapeutic camp that should be shut down, but he should also be able to choose NOT to do group sports.

What? And, the camp is working on OT issues as well as social skills. I'm sure they adapt the games for the kids at a therapeutic camp. This exactly the place where a low tone kid with coordination/mobility challenges should play and learn it's okay not to be great at something. Flexible thinking.

A lot of kids have a hard time learning that it is ok not to be great at something. Are there any books or videos out there to help children with this in a direct way?

The Social Express has a website/app on flexible thinking.
