EXCEPT FROM ARTICLE: SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) “It’s something we look forward to. We live life all the time being different and not quite fitting in and this is a day when we can invite people to ask the questions they’ve had about cerebral palsy and to connect with people about this perceived difference,” said Cora True-Frost.

EXCEPT FROM ARTICLE: SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WAER) “Most playgrounds are inaccessible for wheelchair users, and don’t include sensory components for blind or autistic children.  Too many state and federal parks won’t include accessible paths, or do so only nominally.   Private gyms cite liability concerns, preventing atypical kids who require assistance from participating.”
