[NAGDU] guide dog as reasonable accomodation?

[Debbie Gabe]

Every job I have had I have had to fill out a form, asking for specific reasonable accommodations and explaining why. I just state that I am blind and attach some kind of note from an ophthalmologist. But it has been my experience that a reasonable accommodation request form is pretty common practice at least in Hawaii. if this is not the case then maybe they or that company has never had a request for a guy dog before and if they are uneducated about dog purpose then just fill out the form. Or call human resources and ask to speak with their ADA person.
Good luck. Debbie.
