Disability Etiquette
"NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE. A person may make a request or behave in a way that seems strange to you. Their request or behaviour may be disability-related."
Some people who are deaf, blind or have reduced vision or who have a traumatic brain injury, a seizure disorder or a range of other disabilities may use a service animal to assist them with daily living.
Do not touch the service animal without permission. The animal may be adorable, but it is on the job! In some instances, the service animal may not display information identifying it as such.
Within a business, this means that a “no animal” policy would need to be modified to allow the person to enter with a service animal.
Inclusive workplaces will have designated spaces for service animals.
