It depends on his/her interests. I taught a girl who had severely limited cognitive ability (2nd grade reading level in the 8th grade) who was on the Cheerleading team and did theater. Mind you, she didn't excel at either, but she chose them and she got a lot of enjoyment out of the activities. Give the child a choice. Ask what they like. I also knew a girl who likes to color and do puzzles. or sing songs and dance

School performance of a child with mild mental retardation?
Depending on the IQ level of a child, most children diagnosed with mild mental retardation will start experiencing scholastic problems from about Grade 3 to Grade 6. This is mostly because the academic level of school work starts requiring increased abstract thinking and complex cognitive processing, which the child is unable to do. It is usually possible to differentiate between mild mental retardation (or intellectual disability) and a learning disorder as the former is more pervasive and the child struggles with all school work, not just one specific aspect of learning (such as spelling, reading, writing or arithmetic. It is important to note, though, that given a supportive learning environment with individual attention and allowing the child to work at his/her pace and preference, a child with mild mental retardation is quite capable of reaching an adequate level of school achievement - sufficient to lead an independent, product life as an adult.
