Wednesday, July 11, 2018Disability Rights: ADA and Assistance AnimalsDisability Rights: ADA and Assistance AnimalsWednesday, July 11, 2018 – Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Bennington 108 School St. Bennington, VT Mike Charron and Ericka Reil from VCIL-Montpelier will be here to explain how specific disability-related laws can impact our everyday lives. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. Mike will discuss our rights and responsibilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act, including how to interact with businesses that have access issues, what to do when your town sidewalk is not usable, how to have success with the state bureaucracy, who to call and what to say. In the second half of the workshop Ericka will focus on rights and responsibilities concerning service dogs and assistance or comfort animals. Come learn what your rights are under the law. This event is free, but registration is required to ensure enough materials and seating. Workshops are designed to honor people with disabilities, but their caregivers, service providers and allies are also welcome. Light refreshments provided. Scent and chemical-free event. Please let us know if you would like an ASL interpreter by July 6. To register, for more information or to request accommodations, contact Lynn Mazza: lmazza@vcil.org or 802-442-1876. |
