Webinar, June 7th, 2023, Quarterly Tea with the Massachusetts’ Office on Disability. There is a lot of misinformation about service animals and emotional support animals, such as where they are allowed to go, what questions can be asked about them, and what to do if they are not behaving well.
* This Quarterly Tea aims to describe the rights and obligations of service animal users in public places, such as restaurants, stores, and libraries.
* The intended audience of this session is owners and staff of public places, as well as animal control officers.
* This quarter’s Tea will get you started with information and real-world examples to answer common questions like:
· What is the difference between a service animal and an emotional support animal?
· How can I determine if a dog is a service animal?
· When can service animals be denied?
· How do I consider other patrons’ concerns like allergies, concern for health and sanitation, and phobias of dogs?
· How and when can MOD provide support?
* MOD’s Quarterly Teas address your most frequently asked questions and concerns related to hot topics in the disability community. Quarterly Teas are scheduled for one hour. The last 20 minutes are reserved for a live Q&A.
Presenters: MOD Disability Rights Unit.
* To request reasonable modification to participate in this event,contact MOD General Counsel and ADA Coordinator, Julia O’Leary, at Julia.E.OLeary@mass.gov or 617-727-7440 x27324.
