I am currently writing my scholarly paper on animal-assisted interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder and am exploring the idea of emotional support animals being considered AT for workplaces. However, it seems like from your post, that such animals would not necessarily be legally allowed/able to be in workplaces - unless an employer specifically agreed to the accommodation? But if that emotional support need was the only major obstacle keeping an individual from performing a job and the animal accommodation/AT was not considered an 'undue hardship' for the employer, they would be bound to try and allow it by the ADA correct? Maybe? Side-note: I have heard that monkeys have not made effective assistance animals for individuals with disabilities, because they learn behaviors and eventually have been found to 'taunt' the individuals. I'm not sure how valid/widespread this finding has been, but definitely interesting.

In addition to what was mentioned, Canine Companions for Independence and other organizations like them train dogs to assist with hearing, daily tasks, and to be skilled companions. Many dogs are trained to alert if you are about to have a seizure. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
