I've been reading this board b/c my mom is losing mobility that she had regained after being paralyzed almost 50 years ago in an automobile accident. We love to go to WDW MNSSHP with my parents and children every year, and I don't want them to have to stop b/c of her loss of mobility. It is very difficult for her to walk (she drags her foot) when she is tired. She does go to PT and now is starting OT as well, has a physiatrist, and a neurologist, etc. etc. How might a "GAC" help her? What specifically can they do (this is providing that she is even willing to get a GAC). She is now dependent upon a cane, or she pushes the kids stroller when it is empty. My mom is (thus far) refusing to use a wc or ecv. She doesn't want "special treatment", but it is getting to the point where she needs it. I feel that if she needs it to be able to enjoy herself, she should have it. My boys love going to MNSSHP every year with their nana and papa, it's a tradition that we all go to WDW to celebrate their b-days and Halloween together.
Thanks.
