残疾人士在校园内使用服务性动物

A service animal might be trained 体育博彩app assist an individual with a specific disability related need. 根据《美国残疾人法》,只有狗和迷你马才有资格成为服务性动物。

盲人使用的导盲犬是最常见的。 No licensing or certifying entity exists 体育博彩app legitimize the use of a service animal.

Individuals who have obvious disabilities such as blindness or quadriplegia raise few questions. Those with hidden disabilities such as hearing loss, epilepsy, autism, or mental health who use a dog may raise some questions.

To inquire about the presence of a dog, it is reasonable 体育博彩app only ask the following two questions:

  • 这只服务犬是因为残疾吗?
  • 狗狗被训练去做什么工作或任务?

We 不能 ask the person 体育博彩app provide the following information:

  • 残疾的性质
  • 医疗文档
  • 身份证或培训文件
  • 证明狗有能力完成工作或任务

服务性动物必须始终处于训犬员的控制之下。 The ADA states the following: " Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless these devices interfere with the service animal's work or the individual's disability prevents using these devices. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal or other effective controls."

If the dog is disruptive 体育博彩app the learning environment or college events, directly aggressive or threatening, or not under the control of the h体育博彩appler at all times, then access by the animal will be prohibited with assistance from College Police, if necessary. Such access restriction should be referred 体育博彩app the ADA/504 Compliance Officer, Eric Oifer at 310-434-8912, or designee.

For further inquiry, contact the 残疾学生中心 at 310-434-4265 voice or Campus Police 310-434-4300.

Federal 体育博彩app state laws acknowledge that, "in rare circumstances," access can be limited if health 体育博彩app safety are jeopardized by the presence of a service dog. An example is certain designated areas of a medical facility, i.e., nursing program practicum sites. Areas that pose a direct safety risk 体育博彩app the dog are probably not reasonable locations for the owner either.

Mere speculation that the dog might pose a potential health risk 体育博彩app others is not supported by law. If a fellow student/faculty or staff states a health problem (e.g. allergy) with the service dog, medical documentation regarding the problem will be required for the ADA/504 Compliance Officer, Eric Oifer at 310-434-8912 体育博彩app determine the appropriate solution for the situation.

大学社区的所有成员都必须对服务犬举止得体。

  • 不要试图抚摸狗。
  • 不要试图喂狗。
  • 不要故意惊吓或分散狗的注意力。
  • 不要试图将狗与它的伴侣或训练指导分开。
*Note: Dogs 体育博彩app miniature horses are the only animals specified as services animals under federal law.
