Hello All, I am counsellor with over 12 years experience specializing in parenting, families, youth and mental health. I answer questions in a blunt and straightforward way so if you are looking for coddling or really touchy feely type advice thats not me I provide real solutions for your problems and concrete suggestions in other words I tell you the plain truth I don't sugarcoat.
I am really worried these days with the easy access to the internet and all the false information that is out there and the fact that people believe it!! So please ask first. I don't claim to have all the answers but I can claim that NOTHING will shock me you can try though :)
I look forward to hearing you thoughts and questions.

Hey! 14/f/california w/ "Mild" Cerebral Palsy in Both legs.
So, I really want to get into a sport,preferably a team. I am not in a wheelchair i can walk and run(pretty well). I would rather not be on a team for disabled people, but that might be might be kind of cool, i guess. I already horseback ride and i have been my whole life.
I was thinking about archery, because i have done that before in PE. But is that done on a team? So i Guess i am just looking for segestions on team sports that i could do that dont invole to much running.
Also, i am going to be a freshman this coming year an it would be nice to be on a school team but if not thats alright.
Thanks so Much to any one who tries!
Hey why not join the swim team? I have worked with many clients with CP who like you have only slight physical issues with their legs and not only is there no running swimming actually will strengthen your legs and enable you to do more.
In answer to your question if you can't jump into the pool the coach can make arrangements with the swimming "board" so that you can start the race from in the pool. This is what we here in Canada do its part of a program in schools called inclusion for all.
(Rating: 5) THANKS! but dont you have jump into the water?
