Accessible field helps Georgia kids play ball
September 2nd, 2008From CNN:
A community in the Atlanta area raised funds to create a ballpark with a rubberized field so that nearly 300 children with special needs, including those in wheelchairs, can play in a baseball league more easily.
Parents say the children look forward to the games and enjoy sharing their success with friends at school.
“It’s actually fun because we get to be kids and we can play like regular people,” said 14-year-old Morgan Lawless, who has cerebral palsy.
