That child needs a full time para-professional with medical training, not a damn dog. Interesting that the article is vague about what specific things the dog does....the child is too disabled to give the dog commands, so they hint that the dog alerts to seizures? Is this true, or is the dog a "seizure response" dog? The value of a seizure alert dog, for adults, is that it gives a person time to get to someplace safe and perhaps lie down if they know a seizure is coming on. That doesn't apply to a child in a wheelchair who is in a school, surrounded by adults, with a school nurse on hand.<br /><br />The article claims that the mom would have to come to school every day to be the dogs handler. That mom does not belong in a classroom, nor does any mom. It is far too distracting and disruptive to have a mom there all day, and NOT good for her child's emotional development. The presence of the dog would also be too distracting for the kids, many of whom would be unable to resist touching or interacting with the dog. If the child is in a full inclusion classroom, that could mean up to 30 other kids, including kids with various learning disabilities, for whom the distraction of the dog could mean a violation of their IEP. If the child is in a therapeutic SPED classroom, he may be in with other children with serious disabilities, such as autism, etc., which would make the presence of the dog an even bigger problem. <br /><br />I will guarantee you won't see any legitimate service dog organization pushing to get a golden retriever into a K classroom by claiming it "needs to be there". It's totally predictable that the types of people who push "pit bull service dogs" would have NO understanding of what a disabled child needs for classroom support, and no idea what it's like to try to educate 20-30 kids in a K classroom. It's despicable that these people are using this child to further their agenda....if they try to take this to court, the school district will have to take money from their education budget to fight it, which will hurt all students across this district.Branwyne Finchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314620851450710984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325894281523642428.post-18704126933342776042013-08-21T16:44:34.573-07:002013-08-21T16:44:34.573-07:00@Meals on Wheels -

I go just to watch the ignorance of people who let their kids run while dogs chase them, or roll around on the toxicara contaminated turf, and eat their PB&J while dogs come up and try to steal from their hands. <br /><br /> But the best part of all is when the humans go at it because their untrained dogs fight --as if they expect nothing bad will ever happen to their dog in a dog park.

With artfull neutrality I asked "What's you opinion about those dogs?" Instantly, a vapid smile appeared and he recited "Its all in how they're raised" It was chilling! And he wore exactly the fatuous expression that the religious believers wear when trying to convince a polite cynic about God's Goodness and how Believers are Blessed and Rewarded. He went on to describe an acquaintance "out west" whose pit bull did nothing while their 3 year old sliced into it's ear with scissors, or bashed it over the head and body with a broom handle---WHA ?! Telling this, his expression never changed, still the inane little smile and unfocused eyes so perfected by cult members---pit bulls cause pathology even from a distance! I'm not convinced about the heroic, stoic self-restraint of pit bulls, but, if true, that adults would allow a little kid to be cruel to any animal, is not shocking in the context of pit-bull people.<br /> Anyway, a short but deeply disturbing little conversation, and that a person with little interest in dogs would blup up the approved slogan, letter perfect, instantly, with zero forethought, shows me how scarily pervasive it is. I wonder if it's<br />hopeless to continue opposing them<br />---even the reasons expressed for admiring tthat category of dogs seem to personify the nihilistic worst in humans. Exhausting. And hey!
