The Society for Prevention of Online Diagnostic Abuse (SPODA) announces that USServiceAnimals.org has officially become a certified teletherapy marketing company to implement and pass SPODA's strict Code of Ethics and Conduct. SPODA's Code of Ethics and Conduct contains twelve strict guidelines for teletherapy marketing companies that lead to a legal and proper diagnosis for emotional support animals (ESAs)."Many people would be surprised to learn of the widespread nature of online diagnostic abuse," said attorney Dominick Latino of SPODA. "Our mission is to protect unsuspecting patients as well as businesses and organizations from the potential negative consequences of dealing with emotional support animal scams online. We are proud of USServiceAnimals.org for seeking accountability and are happy to give them our full endorsement. USServiceanmals.org has made the investment to provide legal and ethical consultative services."
The SPODA team believes that recent "online questionnaire only" diagnoses, without a live phone or in person consultation with a licensed mental health professional, are unwittingly placing people in the middle of an illegal scheme. The organization is passionate about the work they do and are thrilled to be able to offer both patients and professionals the information they need to ensure consistent legal adherence when it comes to obtaining diagnoses and documentation for emotional support animals.
