        SERVICE ANIMAL POLICY

        Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.
        ‍
        Examples include:
        • Guiding individuals who are blind
        • Alerting individuals who are deaf
        • Pulling a wheelchair
        • Assisting during seizures
        • Reminding individuals to take medication

        Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.

        For ADA inquiries, email ada@illfest.com and we’d be happy to assist.
