first time w/wheelchair

[hollybearsmom]

I am wondering if we need a GAC with an obvious wheelchair?
I know we need one for the days we use the stroller instead.
Are these always picked up at GR?
thanks for helping a newbie

No, unless you have other needs that are not met by a wheelchair, you do not need a GAC. You do pick them up at GR, and the person needing a GAC has to be there when you get it.

If you want more information about GACs, follow the link in my signature to the disABILITIES FAQs thread. Post #6 of that thread is about GACs.

We've never gotten a GAC for DD who uses a wheelchair. One warning, every once in awhile someone will try to convince us to have her get out of the chair by saying, "oh it's just a few steps." We just explain that she can't take ANY steps. It's always worked out fine, though. Good luck! I hope you guys have a great trip.
