[QUOTE="jannie, post: 73705, member: 2074"] Christine-- I am so sorry for you and for difficult child. My heart breaks for the two of you. This clearly sounds like discrimination. I would speak to the coach and discuss your concerns. I would give him a chance to explain and see if he comes up with any clear reasons as to why he was cut. Maybe based on this conversation, he could change him mind.....Does the coach know about his issues? Does he know about tourettes? Any chance you could get the parents who watched your child involved in the situation and support you in helping to get your child on this team? Maybe they could help as well. I would contact the Tourette Syndrome Association and ask their advice. There are national chapters and local chapters. I've recently had contact with them and they seemed to be able to provide strong advocacy support as well as come into schools and/or organizations to provide training. With the support of the Tourette Syndrome Association, I would contact the hockey team organization and put in a formal complaint... In the meantime, I would contact a different hockey organization and see if they are still having tryouts. I bet there are other teams in the area. This is totally unfair....Sending great big hugs -- I wish I could do more !! [/QUOTE]
