Decisions to use a service dog for employment impacts more than just the workplace. It extends into housing, transportation, and public access. Findings from an exploratory study of the use of service dogs in the workplace revealed a need for clarification and dissemination of relevant laws and resulting regulations associated with living and working with a service dog (Glenn, 2013). This investigation sought to respond with a review of legislation and case law that may impact a person's ability to live and work independently with a service dog. Method. A search of the regulations and case law in the United States related to the use of a service dog in various environments was conducted, focusing on examples of legal precedents that have arisen at the federal, state and local levels. Results. Federal law and resulting regulations, as well as local and state case law, were presented for Disability Support and Accommodation: service animal definitions, use of service animals in different environments to include housing, public access, transportation, and employment, rights to privacy, and responsibility to maintain control of the dog. Conclusions. Two themes needing attention emerged: (1) discrepant interpretations of service animal in the law and by the general population and (2) among service dog handlers and allies there exists a lack of accurate information and ability to inform others of their rights, the laws and associated requirements relatec to service dog teams. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
