Naw, I think you did the right thing. We were going to Jare in T-ball in our

town too, but then we found out about a Challenger's League for kid with

Special Needs and we opted to start out in that one. Good luck and I hope he

has fun:)

I think you did GREAT! I wouldnt bring it up unless you HAVE to..

sometimes, its good to just see how your little one responds.. and

like you said, if a problem occures, THEN bring it up! Good luck!

I don't think you did it wrong, but it might be nice to let

the coach in on things once he has started, even if you

don't use the " name " of the dx but rather, " Mitchel

sometimes... " or " Mitchel needs help with... " or " Mitchel

might ___ if this happens " ...

I have found 's singing tutors at the Australian Girls

Choir wonderful... she is in a class of 20 but can still be

disruptive. Initially I didn't tell them, hoping they

wouldn't really notice and that maybe she would fit in ok...

well, I wish I had said something because they decided she

was a naughty child. Now they understand, and things are

much better.

I have no idea if you did it wrong! :-)

When Marc signed up for soccer he did mention it to the

coach, who took

it all in stride. Had I been there, I don't know if I would

have or not, to

tell the truth.

Either way, I hope Mitchel has a GREAT time at T ball!!!!

I'm not there yet Kerrie. I don't think I could get away with it anyway. I'm

afraid Boone would take the bat and ball and go stand off by himself anyway.

Good luck to !

Yea I thought of that too. They'll be placed on actual teams sometime

in May and start playing in June. I figured once he had a coach, I'd

see how he did at practice, and would probably mention

when 'coaching' mitchel using simple sentences, etc. But we have a T

at home, and he LOVES playing with it, he gets mad at himself if he

misses. I figured I'd try. for $40 it was worth a try, if it doesn't

work out well, we just show back up for the last game to get the

tropy

Kerri, I think you did it just right. This way, you'll get a chance to see ho he

does, and you don't have to worry about anyone treating him doffrently, even if

it is out of kindness. I think you did great, and I think will love it.

Let us know, and post pics!!!

Nope. You did not do it wrong.

First of all, I think it's illegal to ask, and you should only tell them if

you feel you need to.

will have lots of fun!!!
