Description:
When it comes to trained service animals, Titles II and III of the ADA contain clearly defined rules. However, under Title I, any request related to employment — including a modification to a no-pets policy — must be addressed as a reasonable accommodation request. Accommodations can include allowing modified schedules, remote work, a service animal and, yes, even an emotional support animal in some cases. In this session, attendees will learn about the reasonable accommodation process and how a request for an assistance animal fits into this process.
Real-time captioning via Zoom and Stream Text will be available. Individuals may submit questions for the speakers consideration in advance during the registration process.
Continuing Education Credit Available: Certificate of Attendance: 1.5 Credit hours; ACTCP: 1.5 Credit hours.
