[quote=Anonymous]Hello! I am hoping to get some feedback on TOP Soccer for a first grade boy with ADHD. Would this be an appropriate program? We struggle with many organized sports, either because he loses interest or gets distracted. It can be hard when the rest of the kids on the team are just doing what they are supposed to do (by and large) and my son is the odd person out drawing attention to himself and not cooperating.

For context, he has an IEP for speech and some organizational help with bringing items home from school, but his behavioral issues were not considered to be serious enough to warrant IEP goals. He only has what was previously in his 504.

I have always thought of TOP Soccer as meant for kids with more serious disabilities who can't function in a setting with mostly NT kids, but then it occurred to me that maybe it would be appropriate for my son too. I just don't want to make him feel even more out of place if he's the highest-functioning player by a long shot, if that is the case I would rather put him with his friends in the traditional rec soccer program.

Any thoughts from parents whose children have participated in this program?[/quote]
