In real life, I don't see this situation happening on a varsity team. More than likely, if the coach decided to have a special needs player on the team he would only use him/her in garbage minutes (Either they are losing by a lot or winning by a l...

How about a just-for-fun league? While there are many folks (and by this I mean kids and parents) who are highly focused on competing and winning, there are plenty of families who are not looking for their kid to become the next Michael Jordan. T...

My child is ADHD and enjoyed basketball and did extremely well on a championship team. I felt fine with my son and other special needs children. Experience no problem with coaching these youth. However, for some its all about winning and others ma...

Thanks Pat, this was a great idea, and thanks for the tshirt. I enjoyed this opportunity to meet other people and I appreciate the comments and the honesty of the people that responded. It was a question that came up in my mind as I just got done ...

I coached this last season rec league basketball and I had a girl with adhd and torrette's Syndrome, She was at times unfocused but she was a great kid and had a blast playing. I had no problem having her on the team she was fairly talented and wo...

Let him try whatever he wants. If he wants to do gymnastics or swimming, let him do it as much as he wants. If he wants to play basketball, he should be allowed to try. Keep in mind that coaches see their job as winning games. If he's good enough ...

Sports is about teamwork, competition, and who can make the team. It's hard to know if a special needs kid should or could play on a team. I guess it depends upon the nature of the team. I would hate to force someone to have my child on their team...

Jason & 2 other special needs high school basketball players were highlighted on the CBS Early Show this week. One of the boys was Downs Syndrome. Honestly, I don't remember the full story, but I'm sure it's on the Early Show website. It was a hea...

My outlook for my son is just that I want him to try everything that interests him. He's only 3 yrs old, but he does gymnastics, swimming, kindermusik and to be honest with you he loves his music class the best. But I just want him to have the sa...

I think that it would all depend on school, the child, the child's previous involvment with the team, etc. I would encourage the special needs child to be a part of the team. Jason McElwain, the autistic kid from Rochester, NY who had the amazing...

This is a difficult question. We all want our kids to succeed but let's admit that most students do not make the team when they try out. Thus it would be difficult to include someone on the team that may not have very good athletic abilities. Lik...
