[quote=Anonymous]A few random thoughts. Swimming -- great for motor coordination and body feedback -- but can be tough for some kids to follow instruction in a group class with sounds bouncing all over the walls. If you can afford private instruction at a place like KidsFirst, that may work better. Gymnastics -- not all gyms are the same level of sensory overload, don't know if you have looked into Little Gym, but occasionally they have instructors there who are very skilled at keeping kids on task and giving them positive encouragement. Karate -- you'd think this would be a challenge but this is really all about developing the listening skills and focus that many kids struggle with. It really can be confidence building for kids who face challenges in this area, they discover they can actually master such skills step by step. Kicks Karate has some very flexible teachers. [/quote]
