I have been told by someone who currently works at WDW that Guest Services at Downtown Disney does not do GACs - only the Guest Services at the parks do that.
If you do take a letter from the doctor, it should be about your child's needs (as you kind of outlined them in your post). also, don't be surprised if they don't want to see the letter at all.
Also, the things that you are talking about (a place to sit and wait) is not available in some attractions at all. Even though a GAC might help for some attractions, there is a lot of walking involved in just going from place to place in the parks and a GAC would only help for attractions. I've heard estimates of between 3 and
9 miles per day, depending on how much backtracking you do. Just the distance around the World Showcase at Epcot is over a mile!
You may find that rather than a GAC, a wheelchair might be a better accomidation for her. She could use it for long distances (like between areas) and just park it and walk when she doesn't feel like sitting. That is the advice that Disney gives on their website for people who are concerned about the walking distances.
