[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 187224, member: 1550"] For us to help you a little better, it would be useful to know what her issues are. ODD rarely stands alone (you'll hear that A LOT here) so just saying she has ODD doesn't give us a good overview of how she behaves or what she can/can't handle. Has she ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist? The six year old seems as if she could use a neuropsychologist evaluation. Her speech delay, even with improvement, is a big red flag for some neurological issues that can cause behavior problems due to frustration. I feel she should be tested more--then you'll understand better what she would succeed at. As for my son... That aside, if she is a good team player, soccer is really good and it's not expensive if she decides to quit. My son is on the high end of the autism spectrum and he became very adept at soccer. He is fifteen and still likes it. He also swims on the swim team and has down cross-country skiing and high jumping. In school, he needs work on social skills so they signed him up for a group that works in the community and he loved it. I must note that Lucas has Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) issues, but is very well-behaved. He is no great athlete, but is willing to try as long as he's not intimidated. We did not do Scouts with him. He wasn't interested. [/QUOTE]
