[quote=Anonymous]I swear this list isn’t as obnoxious as it sounds.

My 6 yo DS has a prominent speech delay and physically he’s slightly delayed too.  We do ALL the therapies, speech, physical, occupational.  He’s also in a ton of activities- karate, gymnastics, soccer, swim.  He loves activities and in general is a super happy and sweet child.  Even with smaller classes due to Covid though, I am wondering if I should roll up the roughly $500 on activities monthly and hire...an athletic person who is good with kids who could work with him on some basic athletic skills? Here are examples of things I see him struggle with- he can’t climb on those ropes at the playground and can’t keep up with the other kids.  In gymnastics all the kids are working on a skill and he’s far behind on the skill.  Hopeless with ball skills.  I am not athletic but I do help him with karate bc is used to do it. I also homeschool, take him to playground and activities.  DH is naturally athletic but does not do these things with DS unfortunately.  I’m not trying to propel my 6 yo into elite athletics.  I just want him to be able to do the things he already enjoys.  I was thinking of maybe a parkour gym as something that might...consolidate some of these activities.  He does get some of it at physical therapy but I’d like to help him to have more personal help on skills, something more personalized than the group classes.  [/quote]
