So in exciting news, it looks like we may have found a sport Dylan can play I'd never heard of Boccia before, but it was made up for people with CP and now it is played by people with all sorts of disabilities. The AIS has a few disability programs but many are unsuited to Dylan because they are things like athletics, soccer for the disabled, and that sort of thing. Once he is older we might look into the table tennis and wheelchair basketball but for now Boccia looks great Hoping to take him along this week or next. What is Boccia? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boccia

That's really neat Beck, and the fact that it is a paralympic sport means he can watch it on tv to!

;D So Dylan did pretty well I see! Hitting the jack has to be a good thing. Did he have fun? Keen to go back?

He is very keen to go back and was very excited one of the people at training is on the paralympic Boccia team I got lucky with the video, it was the only one I took and he did well for it His throw is a little too hard most of the time but it was the first go and he'll only get better! Most importantly he had fun.

Nah they were all adults there that day. There is a 12 year old boy that also plays but he was sick.
