Last night I helped to host a support group for parents and one of the things the OT said was .... about the vestibular system, if it is off then a part of that tis not paying attention in school. So they have kids sit on yoga balls as their chairs. I have seen these in catalogs. That bouncing gets their vestibular system going which in turn gets their learning going! Remember you said though the teacher doesn't cooperate, so he could have had a meltdown or maybe he is trying to hold himself together and just shutting down completely. When I do homework with my son he gets like 10 min on 10 min off, If it is something he is going to struggle with there has to be breaks. I live with timers set. they need that start and end point. Keep him in gymnastics my son loved it when it. I need to get him back in it. He liked it when it was at a place with just one class, I had him at a place prior to that where there were several classes at one time and he would just have meltdowns. Swimming is his absolute favorite, bowling is good (heavy work with the ball). Find what he likes and work from that. When he gets home from school do you allow time for a snack break before starting with school work? My son runs in grabs his snack the shirt, shoes, socks fly off and he sits down and turns on a cartoon for 30 min. He knows that is his break time before getting his homework done. Suggest to the OT about the yoga ball to sit on and see what she thinks. The OT last night said they have 15 kids sitting on yoga balls in my son's school district. Good luck let us know how the Thursday with the OT watching goes!!! Heather
