Disney may agree with you since they didn’t go the paperwork route. They are drastically limiting DAS instead.
And what would such a system look like, in your opinion?
And it might be that lawsuit against the others that is preventing them from going to documentation route. I mean maybe the lawsuit says it’s fine and Disney chooses to go that route then?
I’m honestly not sure. I don’t think there is a perfect system because there will be negatives to any of them. I’ve already said what I think about the documentation negatives, but I also realize right now a lot of people are being excluded that maybe shouldn’t be.
I think the lawsuit will say it's fine, but if the current program seems to be working well enough I doubt Disney wants the hassle of documentation.
I don't have a personal definition for a disability. What a strange question. A disability is any physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. That is the definition of a disability. Clearly some school systems are broken if they are trying to get kids into the IEP program for something as little as being bad at math. It might not be the norm, but clearly it happens. They tried to do that with my daughter, saying she had a learning disability. A friend of ours child has dyslexia and they got an IEP. But they are not in any way disabled. It is insane how little oversight there is for these things.
Well that would be shown though. If you have a flair up, it will show you in the restroom for an extended period of time. My issue is similar to that, where I get flare ups and so do not do well with a scheduled return time. I only end up going on 2-3 rides a day.
But only those with neurological "most of the time" it seems. People are being denied for their physical limitations and that is not right.
Um, I hate to point out the obvious, but if you can't afford the (theoretical) dr visit to get documentation, you can't afford a Disney trip.
Maybe. Maybe grandma and grandpa paid for the trip. Or maybe people are sick of having extra fees and hassle just because of their or their child's disability. Frankly, I think that it is criminal that some doctors charge you for that.
Dyslexia is a learning disability. It's covered under the "specific learning disability" eligibility criteria of IDEA. Dyscalcula is a related disability to dyslexia that impacts a student's math skills. Dysgraphia affects writing skills (physical writing). These are disabilities. They are different than physical disabilities and medical disabilities, but they are disabilities.
I think that you are completely taking what I said the wrong way. People where saying that IEPs are being used to prove a disability. And I am saying that those alone should not be used in the case of theme parks, because not all who have an IEP have a disability that precluded them from being able to wait in line. Get a doctor's note, not something from the schools.
I do understand what you're saying. I agree that IEPs shouldn't be used as proof.insaid as much a few pages ago.
I just don’t think it should be an extra expense. For me, sure it would be no problem, but some people are on high deductible plans or don’t have health insurance. I’d hope most could get paperwork done without a fee, but again, we live in a country where healthcare isn’t free and everyone doesn’t have it, so it could make problems for some.
From my understanding the system Universal uses will accept an IEP as “documentation”. I agree it shouldn’t be used as others have stated previously, just because a child has an IEP that doesn’t mean they can’t wait in a line.
You said exactly what i was thinking but figured that would have put me in timeout
