Thank you. I never knew this. The forms example is a great one.

That is true. If you go where forms have to be filled out, for instance, they can't refuse to help you with it. That may be one of the best protections I can think of. Or they can't say you have to have a sighted person with you to board rides at amusement parks.

This means they can't tell you you can't bring your dog to a zoo, an amusement park, whatever, and they can't say you need to be accompanied by a sighted person if you are carrying a cane.
