"Discrimination
of a Service Animal is discrimination of the disabled."
Service
Animals
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines
a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually
trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they
meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the
ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state
or local government.
Service animals
perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability
cannot perform for him or herself. "Seeing eye dogs" are one type of service
animal, used by some individuals who are blind. This is the type of service
animal with which most people are familiar. However, there are many different kinds of service animals
that assist persons with many other kinds of disabilities in their day-to-day
activities. A few examples include:
-
Alerting persons with
hearing impairments to sounds.
-
Pulling wheelchairs
or carrying and picking up things for persons with mobility impairments.
-
Assisting persons with
mobility impairments with balance.
-
Alerting persons with
seizures.
-
Condition signal assistance.
