Welcome folks!
As you know service and therapy animals are no longer limited to dog guides or the typical seeing eye dogs in society. Despite the latest changes to the ADA taking effect on March 15, 2011 in the USA - many people with different disabilities use other species of a service animal including Helper Monkeys and Miniature Guide Dogs to assist them with their daily living activities.
We are very interested in learning about people's different experiences of having a service animal - regardless of the breed or species! It can be a positive story about how the animal enhanced your or someone you know life or it can be about an experience where your or your child's right of entry to a public place with their service animal was denied and what steps were taken to remedy the situation.
Hence if you, or your child or another member of your family use a service animal or a therapy animal to lead a more independent life - then tell us your story to bring awareness to the remarkable value these animals provide to people with disabilities.
Your story will also be considered for our upcoming CRTASA e-newsletter - so make sure you include your own photos in your submission that you want to share publicly with our readers in both Canada and the USA.
Together we can help open society's doors and minds to people with disabilities and their service animals.
