October 2023 Chapter Meeting: Disability Etiquette and Service Animals (sponsored by Employment Disability Resources)

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) opens the doors to participation in state and local government programs, among other areas of public life, by prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities.  Emily Shuman is the director of the Rocky Mountain ADA Center, where she has had the opportunity to present at hundreds of training on this and other related topics.  She will define service animals and the rights and responsibilities of service animal handlers under the ADA as well as the differences between service animals, emotional support animals, and therapy animals.  Emily will also dive into the prevalence of disability, why access matters, and best etiquette practices and language for interacting with people with disabilities.
