Service Dog Vs. Emotional Support Vs. Therapy
SERVICE DOGS vs. EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS vs. THERAPY ANIMALS - Includes information from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – www.ada.gov Each year, we have students who approach us with questions about bringing Service Dogs, Emotional Support Animals, and Therapy Animals to campus.

SERVICE DOG TASK EXAMPLES: • GuidinG a handler that is vision impaired. • AlertinG a handler that is hearing impaired to sounds. • ProteCtinG a handler that is having a seizure or going for help. • AlertinG a handler that is about to have a seizure. • RetrievinG dropped items for or pulling a handler in a wheelChair. • ProvidinG room safety checks for a handler with severe Post TraumatiC Stress Disorder (PTSD). • RemindinG a handler who is coGnitively or developmentally disabled to take their medications. • AlertinG a handler with autism to distracting repetitive movements so that they can stop the movement.
