Question about touring parks...child with cerebral palsy

[antkim]

Hi all!

I have a friend, that has a friend, with a daughter with Cerebral Palsy. She is wondering if the parks have any type of special accommodations for her daughter. I told her I knew they had special passes for children with ADHD or Autism but I have no idea about CP....can someone please advise if there is anything I can tell them to do???

I appreciate any help!

Hi Kim

I would suggest looking at the 'disABILTIES! FAQ", which is the third item listed in this forum's index. That should give a lot of useful information.

If you have any questions after reading about the GAC (Guest Assistance Card) in the disABILITIES FAQs thread, go ahead and ask (or send the mom here to ask).

Just a clarification: The GAC is given based on needs because of a disability, not diagnosis. Because of the needs, certain accomdations might be necessary. The GAC is a tool to let the CMs know what sorts of accomidations are necessary for that person's need.

Thank you so much! I was wondering about the GAC and was not sure if it were for a specific diagnosis..I now see that it is not! Thanks again....this is very helpful and will be very appreciated!

The Dis is the best!
