[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think it’s a “bad “ idea, but probably also not what I’d call a priority. Have you an ABLLS-R done? If that’s not completely filled I probably wouldn’t be working on cello skills. You could try a recorder or tin whistle or boom whackers or general music classes that incorporate social skills. What about buying the TV Teacher set for handwriting, hiring a 1:1 for respite, toys that work on fine and gross motor, a new flash card set, a reading program or language for learning, board games, etc. I’d think more functional skills at that age rather than independent extracurricular skills that require high levels of focus and fine motor skills. If you could get a free cello and focus and attention are a strength for them then you might try a couple lessons. I just wouldn’t focus on that in place of more functional skill deficits.[/quote]
