STEPS TO COMPLETE
1. Watch the video: Helping Dogs - Rights and Responsibilities
2. Read the text: Procedures for Public Access Challenges.
This resource describes a best practice procedure for navigating situations in which your right to have a Service Dog in public places is questioned. We will role play during session, so become familiar with the recommended procedure (below). Think about whether or not you as an individual would use all of the steps, under what circumstances, and in what order. Be prepared to discuss and to reference laws from the Legal Resources Database.
3. Complete the homework assignments below.
Use the PHD Legal Resource Database. It is important to pay attention to where you found the answers (note which laws or policies contain the answers), so that you know where to find the information in the future, should you need it. Note that It is not possible to save an assignment document and come back to it later, so a good strategy is to write or type your answers elsewhere as you work on the form, then fill out the electronic copy all at once when you are ready to submit.
ASSIGNMENT #1: Quiz 1 - multiple choice
