Hillsborough County Community College Sign Language Club is hosting the event.  It's about a Deaf superhero and this Deaf student who just wants to "fit in".  Interesting typical dialogue about how mom wants him to sign in a Deaf class and dad wants his hearing aids on and mainstreamed.

New Guidance on Service Animals    

Attached is a Friend of the Court brief from a service animal case regarding Broward County.  It is my understanding is that the decision closely followed this brief.  The brief is from the US Department of Justice, and involves ADA and its impact on schools related to service animals and access in school.  As such, it is worth reading.
