customs agents and speech/hearing disability
Hi. I have an adult son who is exceptionally intelligent (he was recently awarded a utility patent on one of his drums) but, because of a work injury, has a 40%R and 80%L hearing loss and suffers from moderate aphasia - occasionally mixing up words when talking/listening and he also has difficulty writing. He has a visible disability when it comes to walking distances, so he holds on to my shoulder for balance. We are both US citizens. He has the opportunity to perform at a disability festival this year in Korea, and next year I would like to show him Paris and London. But, I am really concerned about his inability to get through customs if I am not allowed to be with him to help him answer questions. Since I am not his "guardian" in the legal sense, will they separate us in customs even though I am his care assistant? Any suggestions? Thank you very much.
