I will be taking my 5 year old son to DLR in November.
However, I will be needing to get him a GAC (guest assistance card?) because of his severe autism.
He is normally alright in lines as long as there are lots of things to look at and they move; standing still can cause him to get anxious and start trying to climb on things or rolling around on the ground. Since I don't want things to escalate to that point (I don't want him to hurt himself or others), I believe the pass would help with him avoiding areas where the congestion of people may be too much for him (Peter Pan is really the only one we had an issue with last year).
I plan on bringing his IEP, which is a legal document from the school district describing his challenges and goals.
But I was wondering if the GAC is just a piece of paper, or sticker, or perhaps a button that he can wear to be better identified by CMs?
I know it does not allow one to get in the front of the line. I'm under the impression that it allows guests with the pass to wait in a different area, right? That would be most beneficial for our family.
Has anyone had one? And is there something I need to bring other than his IEP?
Thank you for reading!
