Miranda Levy, MA, CRC – Northwest ADA Center

There is much confusion about the differences between the rules and regulations regarding service and assistance animals when it comes to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA). This comes from the significant similarities between these pieces of legislation, as well as the tremendous differences.
During this 90 minute webinar, Miranda will apply the ADA law to the topic of service animals, while Zoe Ann will discuss service animals under the FHA. Both speakers will point out comparisons throughout the presentation, and ample time will be left for questions.
Participants have the option of obtaining 1.5 CRCC credits or a Letter of Attendance.
