would medicaid approve it, I have Parkinson's Disease, I am 39 years old -
for the last 4 years...
I live alone and I know nothing about the program?
however, I am very interested...

YOU CAN HAVE A SERVICE DOG IT NEEDS ALL BASIC TRAINING FIRST AND BE TRAINED TO DO THREE TASK FOR YOU. YOU CAN SELF-TRAIN YOUR OWN DOG.

I WOULD RECOMMAND THAT YOUR SERVICE DOG HAS VEST AND PATCHES ON WHEN OUT IN PUBLIC SO PEOPLE WILL NOT BUG YOU ALL THE TIME ASKING IF IT IS A TRAINED SERVICE DOG

ADA SAYS ANY BREED OF DOG CAN GO OUT IN PUBLIC IF THERE DOG IS TRAINING TO DO A TASKS FOR YOUR DISABILITY ONLY!!!

ADI BELIEVES RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AN ANIMAL AND AN INDIVIDUAL, STANDS ALONE, IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE AN ANIMAL TO BE REGARED AS A SERVICE ANIMAL. IF AN INDIVIDUAL, WITH A MENTAL, EMOTIONAL OR PHYSIOLOGICAL DISABILITY WANTS ACCESS RIGHTS WITH ANIMAL AS AN ACCOMODATION, THIS ANIMAL MUST BE TRAINED AS REQUIRED BY THE DEFINITION OF A SERVICE ANIMAL PUBLISHED IN THE CFR IN OCTOBER 1991 BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

MAKE SURE YOUR SERVICE DOG CAN RING THE BELL ON DOOR KNOB SO YOU WILL KNOW IT NEED TO GO OUT SIDE.

ALSO MUST KNOW HOW TO ALERT YOU TO A SMOKE ALARM, AND A POT BOILING OVER ON A STOVE. THIS JUST IS NOT A TASK FOR HEARING DOGS ALL SERVICE DOGS MUST KNOW THIS.
