People with disabilities can augment all aspects of their lives with service dogs, who execute crucial aid depending on the disability of their owner. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) stipulates that service dogs are specially trained to assist a person with disabilities in their tasks and daily life. The tasks that service dogs perform are essential actions, like guiding people with visual impairments, signaling certain sounds for those who are deaf, retrieving items for people with mobility issues or alerting about impending cardiac episodes or seizures. Service dogs also support the emotional well-being of their owners through the unique bond they forge.

Justice Speaks offers training for students in grade school to understand what service dogs do and for employees to meet workplace compliance regulations. In addition, we provide resources for you to learn more about service dogs and advocate for them and their handlers.
