Join Chris Sweet, technical assistant for the Northeast ADA Center, as he guides business owners and employees through the essential basics of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and service animals. Service animals are becoming more common as people with disabilities realize what they can do. But not all dogs are service animals.
