Our MDA doctor gave us our script at our very first appt. Like others have mentioned, we don't use it all of the time, but in large parking lots, it's a lifesaver. I have had several unfortunate occasions where observers have given me a hard time for using it. Usually, it's a person who also has a handicap placard who has decided that I don't look like I need it. I can take it, but it's been challenging to have them yelling at me from their vehicle in front of my kids. I've been tempted to type up an explanation letter that I can pass out to such individuals, so I don't have to say anything. They are looking at me walking just fine and seeing 4 kids climbing out of the van, and they assume we are taking advantage. They somehow miss the little guy that struggles to get in and out and is a little clumsy.
I get my letter 2 days ago. I was purchasing stickers for our cars and I get idea to ask about handicapped plates. It turns that there are plates and placards. After reading more about I decide to go for placards , as you can remove them and hang in any car Jacob would drive in , according to needs. Jacob is also walking without problems , but I pictured our last very snowy winter and decided to have something lake this in our glove compartment on those occasions like snowy , slippery roads in Illinois. Placards are good for 4 years.(here).Also for placard we don't have to pay extra as for new handicapped plates.
I may be wrong but I always assumed plates were for drivers with disabilities therefore our family couldn't use them (at least until my kid drives!).

Does anybody in California know how to get more than one placard, or if it's even possible? I drop the boys off at school, and Cheryl picks them up so Alex could be in either car at any given time, and it would be really convenient to have one placard for each car. When I picked up his placard at AAA, they told me I could only have one, and I shudder at the thought of trying to work this at the regular DMV office.
