PA's new app helps families of children with disabilities find parks that meet their child's needs
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A new app is helping families of children with disabilities find a local park that meets their child's needs as July marks a major milestone in the U.S.This month celebrates 34 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law protecting people with disabilities from discrimination.The state's new app, Park Finder, details playgrounds and parks and lists all they offer the community, and is currently available online.According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Americans with disabilities are the largest ranked minority group in the U.S., with about one in six children having a developmental disability.According to a release from the Pennsylvania Recreation and Park Society's Good for You initiative, "Children with disabilities can have different needs for their play, such as more or less sensory input; however, playground play is critical for all children's cognitive and physical development, supporting socialization, creativity, and community building."

Frackers Are Spraying Toxic Wastewater on Pennsylvania Roads Despite Seven-Year Ban
This story was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Siri Lawson and her husband live on a stamp of wooded, hilly land in Warren County, Pennsylvania, nestled in the state’s rural northwest corner. In the summer heat, cars traveling on the county’s dirt roads cast plumes of dust in their wake. Winter’s chill can cause a hazardous film of ice to spawn on paved roads. To protect motorists from both slippery ice and vision-impairing dust, communities across Pennsylvania coat these roads with large, cheap volumes of de-icing and dust-suppressing fluids. In Lawson’s case, her township had been using oil and gas wastewater as a dust suppressant, believing the material was effective.
