ADA Definitions of Qualified Disability
Under the ADA, an individual with a disability is a person who:
1. Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities;
2. Has a record of such an impairment; or
3. Is regarded as having such an impairment.
A physical impairment is defined by the ADA as:
Any physiological disorder or condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss affecting one or more of the following body systems: neurological, musculoskeletal, special sense organs, respiratory (including speech organs), cardiovascular, reproductive, digestive, genitourinary, hemic and lymphatic, skin, and endocrine.
A mental impairment is defined by the ADA as:
Any mental or psychological disorder, such as mental retardation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities.
NOTE: The ADA does not list all conditions or diseases that make up physical, mental, and emotional impairments, because it would be impossible to provide a comprehensive list given the variety of possible impairments.
List of Disabilities that qualify
The Americans with Disibilities act of 1990 allows you to travel freely with your service animal (airlines do not not charge extra fees) and allows you access to any public place or facility. You can not be denied housing nor be made to pay deposits or additional fees for having one of these animals, as they are not "pets" but instead classified by the government as "working animals".
Violation of these laws by a business is very serious. Businesses that violate the rules of the ADA can be required to pay monetary damages and penalties. There are have been a number of business who have not fully understood that discriminating against a service animal is the same as discriminating against the disabled and have denied access to their business by the service animal. The U.S. Justice department has sued these businesses on the behalf of the disabled, requiring them to pay monetary damages, modify practices as they relate to service animals, and retrain staff. Additionally a person may sue for civil damages with a private attorney for monetary damage.
