The Learning Clinic, a private school in Connecticut that offers educational and clinical services through residential boarding and day school programs, agreed to pay a child’s family a $35,000 settlement after the school had denied a child access with his service dog.
The school also agreed to train its employees and adopt new policies to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Connecticut said in a news release.
The child’s parents had reported that the school discriminated against the student by failing to provide accommodation so that the child could attend school and live on campus with his service dog, the release said.
