What about kids with no formal diagnosis yet? According to psychologists, SLPs and others, DS definitely has sensory integration issues and delayed speech and motor skills. We have copies of paperwork to that effect but no formal diagnosis yet. His first appointment with the developmental pedi is 4/24.
He doesn't do well in bright sun and would feel more secure if he got to stay in his stroller more, but I'm not sure if they'll accommodate us without a formal diagnosis from his pediatrician.
Any thoughts?

I don't believe you actually have to show "proof" of the dx to get a GAC. You just need to go to guest relations and tell them what your needs are.

Thanks so much for all of the responses! I hadn't realized how stressed I was about this trip until I realized there was a way to work around his sensitivities to lights, noise, etc. But I hadn't even thought about the mealtime issues yet, and that likely would have been my biggest stressor. DS flat out refuses to even try most new foods because they're the wrong color, texture or temperature. He's below the 3rd percentile in weight even for his adjusted age, so we can't let him not eat. I can't even tell you how much anxiety has lifted knowing that they'll work around his eating issues! Thank you so much!!!!
