Abstract
As a person with invisible disabilities, I found this project an important way to spread awareness and education about how to interact (or rather not interact) with service animals in public. For my project, I had the incredible experience of being part of the Ace Project run by Dr. Cheryl Morris. The Ace Project is an independent study focused around learning to train dogs in several situations from service dogs to rescues with behavioral issues. I have had the unique opportunity to run the Instagram and TikTok for the Ace Project, and give the public education around training, and give insight into the amazing animals, instructor, and trainers in the program. I have also created a guide with the most common questions service animals are asked and answer guides for both handlers and the curious public.
