When dealing with service animals, which question is prohibited?

In the context of service animals, it is prohibited to ask about an individual's disability due to privacy and respect for the individual’s personal information. This restriction is in place to ensure that people with disabilities are treated with dignity and respect when they are accompanied by service animals. The law protects their right to keep their medical information private, allowing them to engage in public life without facing invasive questions about their disabilities.

The other inquiries, while they do pertain to the service animal and its role, are permissible. Confirming whether an animal is a service animal and understanding the specific tasks it performs helps ensure compliance with service animal regulations and allows for appropriate accommodations. Additionally, knowing how long the animal has been trained can provide relevant information regarding its preparedness and suitability in assisting the individual effectively.
