服务性动物/情感支持动物
服务的动物
根据《赌博平台》(ADA),服务性动物的定义是...
28 C.F.R. § 35.104℃和28℃.F.R. § 36.104
"...any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, 包括体检, 感觉, 精神病学, 知识, 或其他精神残疾. 其他动物, 无论是野生的还是家养的, 受训或未受训, 服务性动物不符合这个定义吗. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual's disability..."
除了狗以外的动物不被认为是服务性动物(尽管在某些情况下, 可以使用微型马), 提供情感支持的动物也不是, 安慰还是陪伴. 有资格成为服务性动物, the dog must be trained to do work or perform tasks which are directly related to the individual's disability. 工作或任务的例子包括但不限于:
- 为盲人或弱视人士提供指引
- 警示聋人或重听人的
- Stabilizing/calming a person with anxiety or posttraumatic stress disorder during a panic attack or flashback
- 帮助轮椅上的人
Service animals must be permitted to accompany a person with a disability anywhere on or off campus (e.g. 课程、会议、活动、实习、实地工作等.). 根据《赌博平台》,学校的所有建筑都欢迎服务性动物. 然而, if admitting service animals would fundamentally alter the nature of a service or program or if there are environmental hazards or risks (e.g. 无菌环境,有危险物质的实验室等.),服务性动物可能会被禁止. 例如, a service animal could be restricted from a specific area of a residence hall reserved specifically for students with allergies to dog dander. 虽然这不是必需的, it is strongly recommended that any student with a disability who utilizes a service animal on campus consider registering with 学生无障碍服务 (see registration and accommodation procedures).
当动物提供的服务或任务不明显时, 只允许有限的询问(两个问题):
- 是否因为残疾而需要动物?
- 动物被训练去做什么工作或任务?
- 服务性动物不会被宠坏.
- The service animal is out of control and the handler does not take effective action to control it.
The owners of disruptive or aggressive 服务的动物 may be asked to remove them from university facilities. 如果不当行为反复发生, the owner may be told not to bring the Service Animal into any facility until they take significant steps to mitigate the behavior. 服务动物必须保持清洁. 每天梳洗和偶尔洗澡应该使服务犬的气味降到最低. 控制跳蚤是必要的,应采取适当的预防措施. If a flea problem develops, it should be dealt with immediately and in an effective manner.
当有正当理由要求移除服务性动物时, other accommodations will be offered to provide the individual with the disability equal access to services and/or programs without the animal's presence.
情感支持动物
情感支持动物(esa)是工作的动物, 为残疾人提供帮助或执行任务, or provide emotional support that alleviates one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person’s disability. esa经常作为治疗动物被用作医疗计划的一部分, 根据《赌博平台》,它们不被视为服务性动物. 然而, they are viewed as a “reasonable accommodation” under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) in those housing communities that have a “no pets” rule. 换句话说, just as a wheelchair provides a person with a physical limitation the equal opportunity to use and enjoy a dwelling, an ESA provides a person with a mental or physical health condition the same opportunity to live independently and would be seen as a reasonable accommodation for a person with such a disability. ESA不是宠物.
To qualify for an ESA in 赌博平台 housing, a student must complete the 学生无障碍服务 申请过程 并且符合联邦对残疾的定义. Individuals with disabilities who are requesting an ESA in 赌博平台 housing must provide appropriate documentation that fulfills the SAS文档指南:
- 文件必须来自合格的专业人员,如医生, 精神病学家, 社会工作者, 或者其他心理健康专家.
- The student should have an established, ongoing relationship with the qualified professional.
- Documentation must articulate the need for the ESA based upon the student’s medical and/or mental health condition.
- Documentation must indicate how the ESA alleviates one or more of the identified symptoms or effects of an existing disability.
A student’s request for an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) accommodation which has been approved will be reviewed by SAS on an annual basis in the event the student requests to renew the accommodation during the following academic year. 在这种情况下,学生应该联系SAS安排住宿审查. SAS可以要求额外的文件来支持ESA的需要. 为欧空局房舍审查会议做准备, updated documentation which supports the continued need for an ESA can be submited through the mySAS portal (credit.98cfw.com/mysas).
NOTE: Providing the aforementioned documentation for an ESA in 赌博平台 housing does not automatically qualify students for any other type of accommodations at 赌博平台 in the academic setting. 学生 must follow the registration procedures and documentation guidelines in order to qualify for academic accommodations or other types of services provided by 学生无障碍服务.
服务型动物和情感支持型动物的区别是什么?
Service animals are defined as dogs (or miniature horses) that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. The work or task a service dog does must be directly related to the person's disability. Service dogs (or miniature horses) may accompany persons with disabilities into places that the public normally goes.
An ESA generally provides assistance and/or emotional support to persons with disabilities who have a disability-related need for such support. 虽然狗是最常见的ESA类型,但其他动物也可能是ESA. The animal does not need to be specifically trained to perform tasks for a person diagnosed with a mental health or medical disability. Unlike a service animal, an ESA is not granted access to all places of public accommodation. As noted above, under the FHA, an ESA is viewed as a "reasonable accommodation" in a housing unit.
