Is That a Service Animal? What Rights Apply Where
Tuesday, March 3, 2026 | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Eastern Time | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Central Time
Hosts: Yang-Tan Institute on Employment and Disability and the Northeast ADA Center.
Description: A popular topic that the Northeast ADA Center gets asked about is service animals. It can be confusing for individuals with disabilities, businesses, transit providers, and the public to know what rights a person with a disability has under which law, in which places, and what’s required. This webinar will discuss what is a service animal or an assistance animal—and where these animals can or cannot go.
Did You Know?
Service animals are not just dogs. One other species can be a service animal under the ADA. See the Northeast ADA Center’s fact sheet, Service Animals can be Miniature Horses (PDF).
