My child has ADHD and struggles with "executive functioning". He has been in many therapies over the past couple of years to offer him support on many levels, both cognitive and social. Last fall, we decided to enroll him in a Karate class, meeting twice a week. We are stunned at the amount of progress he has made! He no longer requires occupational therapy and is above grade level in all areas. The experts that work with him believe that Karate has played an integral role in terms of getting his mind and body to function together. In a standardized test given just this spring, he scored in the high average range for reading, and in the superior range for mathematics. Karate has also given him the ability to focus, and the self confidence he needs to experience his successes.
