A lot of people think they have 'balance and co-ordination issues' when they learn to ride, or think about learning to ride. Very few actually do. If the lad has already diagnosed physical or mental special needs then he should be taught, ideally, by someone with experience in that area. Beware of well-meaning, but uninformed, pathologising of normal, everyday lack of self-confidence or anxiety.
