The ADA and disability laws require accommodation but it does not specify what type of accommodation. What I am finding is how to work with a dog in storage and conservation areas where the dander may cause problems. I was hoping to go into the conservation route but that seems to be the area of most concern for many employers. (Especially with a psychiatric service dog)
Thanks
Forgive me for asking, but don't the already-in-place laws and regulations regarding ADA and service animals apply here? What are you finding out that makes museums seem different than any other work environment?

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Service dogs in museums
Good Morning,
I am working toward getting my education to become a museum professional. We talk about service dogs that are brought into the museum by the public, but I was wondering if anyone worked with a service dog handler who worked for the museum. I ask this because I have a service dog. I am having problems finding any information about this subject and was wondering if anyone has any information that can aid me.
Has your museum worked with employees with service dogs? Does the museum have a policy regarding this?
Thanks,April Legatt
