ADA National Symposium - “Who Let the Dogs In?” Service Animal Tails from the ADA Frontlines
Laura Lee Putzback & Merlyn Lewis presented in Phoenix as part of the ADA National Network's premeire ADA professional event.
Don't wait for a DOJ investigation, a human rights complaint, or internal escalation to address service
animal confusion. This interactive session goes beyond the two allowable ADA questions - fundamental alteration, direct threat, and removal. Solve real-world service animal scenarios. Evaluate live service dog demonstrations. Discuss emerging issues and trends. Benchmark policies, procedures and practices.
Walk away with a draft organizational action plan that supports a safe, inclusive environment for all — staff and customers, with or without service animals.
