Reviews for Service Animals in Schools: Legal, Educational, Administrative, and Strategic Handling Aspects

Papalia, Ewoldt, and Bateman's Service Animals in Schools: A Comprehensive Guide for Administrators, Teachers, Parents, and Students is a valuable and user-friendly resource for service animal trainers, academics, and lay people. It provides school personnel, students, and parents the tools they need to understand the benefits of the well-trained service animal, the definitions and laws that govern and protect all those who use a service animal in the school setting, and especially how to advocate for the service animal handler and animal. The service animal world is often misunderstood and misrepresented; the contents of this book should be incorporated into and associated with required in-service training in all school settings wishing to provide an equitable and social justice-centered approach to education.--Stacie S. McGee, LMSW-IPR, Texas State University School of Social Work This book is essential reading. All personnel associated with the school system should be familiar with the various aspects of service animals in schools--they are a vital part of the lives of the children they serve, and understanding their role is key to keeping a successful learning environment.--Debby Kay, instructor and service dog evaluator A comprehensive look at an important subject, and a great reference to integrate into special education settings.--Janice Albright, University of Southern Maine As service animals become increasingly common, this is an important topic for educators and administrators.--Jennifer D. Walker, University of Mary Washington Balancing both legal and special education jargon, the authors write in a way that is clear and understandable to the novice reader, but also to those with a background in special education law.--David Hill, University of Michigan, Dearborn This is an invaluable resource and serves to clarify legal requirements as well as provide tips in addressing questions and logistics posed by educators, parents, students, and administration in a typically very murky area of disability accommodation.--Kelly Jerome, MS, LCMHCA, NCC, CRC, CCTP, AAT-I, Board Certified Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate specializing in Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy
