[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We also have a soon to be 5 year old who sounds very similar to your son.  He does OT and is an unrepentant class drop-out. He dropped out of, or refused to go at all- martial arts, swim classes, soccer, softball, gymnastics.  It was an exercise in frustration for me until I just said eff it and forget about classes.

The one thing that does seem to be working is semi-private swim lessons at a private indoor swim club.  We're not members so it's somewhat expensive, but he loves to be in the water and he goes with his sister and her friend.  Sometimes it's just him and his sister.  As others have said, if your son really enjoys the water (and of course, swimming is a necessary skill), maybe biting the bullet and paying for private or semi-private lessons might be good.[/quote]

A LOT of kids with receptive speech delays, ADHD, or who have executive functioning issues do much better, especially early on, in one-on-one or small group settings.  Too many visual/auditory inputs, not having skills broken down into simple steps, too many other bodies can spell disaster.[/quote]
