Advice about hyperactive children

[MT-PRO Music Therapy List]

On a daily basis I am a music therapist, working in small groups and 
individually with children, however, I am putting my "music education hat" 
on, 
asking for suggestions on how to successfully incorporate an extremely bright 
hyperactive child into a children's church choir of 26 first and second 
graders 
that meets for an hour a week in the evenings (6:30-7:30). His difficult task
is learning songs by rote.  Obviously, auditory processing for him is not 
easy. 
He responds well to instrument play and music games, which we combine with 
learning songs.  This is the first time he has been with other children in a 
large 
group setting, as he is an American who has lived overseas.  Learning to 
share 
and accept others differences is new to him.
 
Any thoughts would be appreciated :-),
