Doug and Sarah Dietz spent $10,000 on a service dog named Herbie to help their son with severe seizures. However, the dog was banned from school, prompting legal action.
The Dietzes' complaint highlights that Herbie’s actions were mischaracterized as "misbehavior," despite being trained to alert for seizures, which endangered their son's safety.
Janet Goode, the family’s attorney, expressed that "disability discrimination has no place in our schools," advocating for a safe learning environment for all students.
Sarah Dietz expressed hope for her son’s return to school with Herbie, emphasizing the bond and support the service dog provides in managing his condition.
