Service Animals
Service animals are specially trained animals that assist people with disabilities in their everyday lives. A service animal must be trained to perform a specific task that benefits the person with the disability. Service animals are protected by law and are allowed to accompany their handlers into public places.
Concepts:
Service animals can be taught to do tasks that are specific to the person's needs, like turning off a light switch or alerting an owner to a sound. Service animals are not just limited to dogs and cats. They can also be miniature horses, monkeys, and even ducks. Service animals can be trained to detect oncoming seizures and alert their owners to seek medical help.
