Laws and reality are frequently two different monsters, and daily, people with disabilities and their aide dogs are denied access. Sometimes, this occurs because of a simple misunderstanding. Perhaps a new employee didn't know the law. Perhaps the person has a disability which isn't obvious, such as a hearing disorder or epilepsy. Sadly, sometimes access denial occurs because the person with a disability isn't wanted and the aide dog is used as an excuse.
Access denial is embarrassing, and it can be frightening.

Some have visual or hearing difficulties which may qualify them for a guide or hearing dog. For those with seizure difficulties a seizure alert or seizure assistance dog may be the answer.
