“The Attributes of the Arts and the Rewards Which Are Accorded Them” | Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin (1766)
From the Wikipedia: Higher Education Act of 1965
“…(Pub.L. 89–329) was legislation signed into United States law on November 8, 1965, as part of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society domestic agenda. Johnson chose Texas State University (then called “Southwest Texas State College”), his alma mater, as the signing site. The law was intended “to strengthen the educational resources of our colleges and universities and to provide financial assistance for students in postsecondary and higher education”. It increased federal money given to universities, created scholarships, gave low-interest loans for students, and established a National Teachers Corps. The “financial assistance for students” is covered in Title IV of the HEA.
The Higher Education Act of 1965 was reauthorized in 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1986, 1992, 1998, and 2008. Current authorization for the programs in the Higher Education Act expired at the end of 2013, but has been extended through 2015 while Congress prepares changes and amendments. Before each re-authorization, Congress amends additional programs, changes the language and policies of existing programs, or makes other changes….”

The Nederlands Normalisatie-instituut, the ISO member body for The Netherlands, has submitted to ISO a proposal for a new field of ISO technical activity on Assistance Dogs, with the following scope statement:
Standardization in the field of assistance dogs focused on, but not limited to;
· terminology
· health and welfare
· breeding and puppy development
· training
· client services
· assistance dog professionals
· conformity assessment, and
· accessibility
Assistance dogs are specifically trained to perform tasks to increase independence and to mitigate limitations of a person with a disability. Excluded are:
· dogs that offer only emotional support and/or comfort (i.e. emotional support dogs)
· dog assisted interventions such as facility dogs or dog assisted therapy
· other kinds of working dogs such as herding dogs, police dogs, search & rescue dogs
Background information: An assistance dog is permanently paired with a person with a disability to perform on a one-to-one basis tasks to mitigate the limitations of this person. Please note that ‘assistance dog’ is the umbrella term. Examples of assistance dogs (in alphabetical order) are autism assistance dogs, developmental disorder assistance dogs, diabetes assistance dogs, guide dogs, hearing dogs, medical alert/response assistance dogs, mobility assistance dogs, PTSD assistance dogs, seizure assistance dogs. In some countries, an assistance dog is referred to as a service dog.
