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

Asked in Mental Health, Human Behavior, Intellectual Disability (Mental Retardation)
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.
