The Tennessee and Kentucky softball programs are partnering this fall to OVERPOWER RETT by playing to bring awareness to Rett Syndrome. Rett Syndrome is a rare non-inherited genetic postnatal neurological disorder that occurs almost exclusively in girls and leads to severe impairments, affecting nearly every aspect of the child's life: their ability to speak, walk, eat, and even breathe easily.

The hallmark of Rett Syndrome is near constant repetitive hand movements while awake. Cognitive assessment in children with Rett Syndrome is complicated, but we know that they understand far more than they can communicate to us, evidenced by their bright and attentive eyes, and their ability to express a wide spectrum of moods and emotions.
