My son is very similar so I'll be following this thread. For example is the class does Starfall in computer lab. He is past needing that but he'll play with the learning letters part instead of looking at sign language, the one thing he doesn't know. Plus he likes sign language so I know he'd enjoy learning it.
So I have no answers, none, just comisseration. Good luck with him. I feel that kids like this can soar but getting them to try is next to impossible. I do think it may be a problem more boys, than girls, have. I plan on rereading a book called The Minds of Boys by Michael Gurian. I read it once and found it insightful but I think with a struggling son it may help.
