[Massachusetts-NFB] Quarterly Tea with MOD: Service Animals in Public Settings

[Massachusetts Commission for the Blind]

 Quarterly Tea with Massachusetts Office on Disability Service Animals in Public Settings Wednesday, June 7, 2023 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Visit our website 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, but all are welcome to attend. 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. Bring your questions about providing service to patrons with service animals and any questions you commonly hear from your patrons about service animals and emotional support animals! Presenters: MOD Disability Rights Unit Reasonable accommodations: MOD does not discriminate on the basis of disability and is committed to providing accessible programs, meetings, and events. To request reasonable modification to participate in this event, please contact MOD General Counsel and ADA Coordinator, Julia O’Leary, at Julia.E.OLeary at mass.gov or 617-727-7440 x27324. Requests made after May 31, 2023 will be considered but may not be possible to fill.
