PUCNTUATION MATTERS!!!!!
This is a bathroom that can only be used by children who are disabled, elderly and pregnant.
I’m pretty sure that was not the intention.
The items in the list should be seperated by comma,
ATTENTION: TOILET ONLY FOR DISABLED, ELDERLY, PREGNANT, and CHILDREN. (much clearer!)
Can you think of any more?

Even the corrected sentence seems to be erroneous. An adjective should be preceded by the definite article ‘the’ if it is to be used in place of a noun. The sentence, for the sake of clarity, may be rephrased thus: Toilet for the disabled, the elderly, the pregnant and children. Purists may suggest a better alternative: Toilet for disabled and elderly persons, pregnant women and children.
