How do you guys deal with students with disabilities?? The reason I'm asking is that I know plenty of people with physical, mental , and learning impediments that are extremely interested in the martial arts but are scared to participate (been picked on and teased too much by those people with no taste). In addtition there is a new student in the school that I attend who has severe dislexia and adhd. I'm looking for tips on how to properly educate this guy without him losing interest out of frustration.

Patience and a willingness to modify your curiculum. Set simple clear cut very short term(5-10 minutes) goals both for the arts and behavior. reward with positive praise. I have never tought MA to kids, but for a short while I worked at a mental hospital for children. Be simple and direct. Brake the techniques down and bit by bit build a complete techique.
