Bill,

Sorry to bother you so much, but I have to tell you this one. I have been working with a boy for 3 years, very dyspraxic and low muscle tone.  He tends to become easily frustrated with most motor tasks, whining, crying and giving up before he hardly begins. 

I did the EASe off-road with him today for 30 minutes then attempted an obstacle course that I knew was too difficult, and prepared to modify it for him.  It involved going from the trapeze bar to wrapping his legs around an onion swing and then moving to a suspended inner tube.  He can barely lift his legs off the ground due to minimal trunk stability, and has difficulty figuring out how to swing, lift his legs and get them high enough to connect with the onion swing.  I was prepared for crying and giving up. 

He lasted 20 minutes with this and never gave up until he figured it out and 10 times in a row was able to grab the onion swings with his legs and then use trunk tone to get his arms from the trapeze to the onion!  This was beyond amazing to witness.  Thank you.

Kim
