Significant accessibility news from the CDC!

New guidance from the CDC and other key federal agencies offers important guidance and clarification about access for service animals in biomedical and microbiological laboratories.

Specifically, "When entities conduct risk assessments and establish policies that accommodate service animals, such practices should comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and
regulations. Importantly, the BMBL lacks the authority to mandate changes to institutional practices or policies and should not be used as a basis to deny reasonable accommodations or service requests."

To learn more, check out the new publication "Clarification on Service Animals in Laboratories" -https://www.cdc.gov/labs/pdf/Clarification-on-Service-Animals-Laboratories-Compliance-with-Federal-Laws-and-BMBL-Guidance.pdf

Expert Guidance: Participate in sessions led by a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), focusing on emotional wellness and how a service dog can help mitigate symptoms of chronic conditions.

Meet the Dogs: Get up close with our Medical Alert Service Dogs, including our beautiful Lab/Golden crosses. Watch live demonstrations of how these highly trained companions sense changes in their handlers and provide critical alerts.

The Path to Placement: Learn exactly what it takes to become a client and how a service dog can become a permanent part of your child’s health management team.

Engagement & Fun: From "signature wags" to interactive education, the day is filled with activities designed to build confidence and community.
