DAS and adult child

[GinnyBear's_mom]

at my small park if I could read phone on counter I would be allowed but if i had to hole I would not and would have to call EMTs/secuirty

so, not hopeless then. The goal of emergency chat isn't just to "chat" but to notify someone that I need assistance so the goal would still be achieved.

That sounds a bit dramatic imo. Hopeless? no. While cast members are reducing their touchpoints with guests they aren't completely eliminated. They still accept cash, still take your dirty plates and cups from you at restaurants, etc. Careful hand washing procedures afterward would protect a CM. A CM could easily read what is on a phone if it is laid down on a surface. A CM could guide me to first aid or call for a manager's assistance. I am not comatose when I show CMs my Emergency Chat message as I can still make gestures. I am not able to write or hold a pen when I get extremely overloaded (I lose muscle strength in my hands) but basic tapping of a keypad can be accomplished. When a nonverbal person needs assistance there are still ways to communicate, even in a covid world , that can be more discreet than hanging a sign around my neck.

I wasn't talking about your personal situation where you are still able to show someone your phone. I am talking about EMT's / CMs bringing someone a pen and paper to communicate during an incident in general. When someone passes out, falls or becomes unresponsive EMT's have a standard procedure they follow to assess and help the person. Which does not include reading messages on peoples phones.

But your able to hold yours up and show them yourself. The one thing I don't get is how the discussion of CMs touching phones came up if you can do that. They wouldn't have to touch the phone at all..
