[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 490728, member: 11001"] Ok-how about an adapted PE class? We have University kids come(they are trained, doing internships and are so great) and do that for our school due to the high volume of kids with issues- esp Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The kids really enjoy this class.The Special Education. teacher pushed this at my prodding. I knew the PE guys had no knowledge, ability, heart to change and help these kids be successful and feel good about themselves. Isn't that what physical activity should be about? Making kids without physical prowess participate with the local jocks is just horrid! Hate PE. We even offer a nontraditional recreation class but it still has the flavor of the "super-fit granola child" going. Can you join hands with some other moms and find out if there are enough kids to push for an adaptive PE class? Is there a near by local university that needs to train their peeps (its free if there is). Go in with this idea and ask that it happen quickly to help out your girl. Just and idea that might be proactive. [/QUOTE]
