At 18 months old, I signed Cooper up for a mom-and-me gymnastics class.  One word comes to mind when I recall the experience … disaster.  Since then we have tried soccer, karate, gymnastics again, swimming, movement (the masculine way to say “dance class”), library arts group, hockey and soccer again.  So far, I’ve not been able to find something with which he will engage.  When my friend Stephen started teaching piano lessons I asked if he would be up for the challenge of taking on Cooper.  Well, just 4 classes into the journey, may I present: Cooper!  I would love to hear if anyone has had any experience (positive or not) with teaching piano to their autistic child or if anyone has any good curriculum recommendations designed specifically for kids with autism.  Thanks!
