Staff Assistance
Andreea Folsom, M.S., C.R.C.Service or Support Animal Requests
In the employment setting, regulations under Title I of the Americans With Disability Act (ADA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) are followed for these requests. A request for a service or support animal is handled the same as any request for a reasonable accommodation. An employee should notify their supervisor /manager that they are requesting an accommodation. Medical documentation is to be provided. It does not need to include the diagnosis or confidential medical information. The regulations under FEHA and ADA allow an employer to request a letter from the healthcare provider stating that the employee has a disability and why a service or support animal is necessary as an accommodation to allow the employee to perform the essential functions of their job.
The Disability Management Unit is to be contacted upon receipt of a request for a service or support animal.
