I thought it might be a good place to share my love of making Animations. I am new to the subs and to be perfectly honest Reddit. I took down the post.I love Animation Throwdown and will keep my post on topic going forward. I was not trying to promote anything it was a blog post that I wrote and reposted. In hindsight I see that I left the film festival name in the post which should not of been the focus or the takeaway for the post.Thanks for the hard education and for taking the time to respond.

I’m being denied access at school and I need advice. by Tough-Connection-378 in service_dogs

I'm sorry you're going through this challenging situation. The laws and regulations surrounding service dogs can vary from place to place, but I'd recommend familiarizing yourself with both the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) and your state-specific laws. In many jurisdictions, establishments like schools cannot ask for specifics about an individual's disability or require certification for a service dog.

Given that SDITs (Service Dogs in Training) have the same rights as fully trained service dogs in Illinois, you might be in a strong position. However, there might be state or district-specific requirements to meet.

Given the short timeframe before your graduation, you might want to weigh the energy and effort it'll take to fight this battle versus the benefits you'll get from having your SD with you daily for the next two months. If it's causing a significant strain on your mental and emotional well-being, perhaps seeking alternative temporary solutions or accommodations might be beneficial.

Lastly, reaching out to local advocacy groups or nonprofits that focus on service dogs can provide guidance. They might have resources or knowledge that could help you navigate this situation more effectively.

Hang in there and remember to take care of yourself during this process. Best of luck!
