Documentation Guidelines
In order to ensure the provision of reasonable and appropriate accommodation and services to students with disabilities, students must provide current documentation of their disability. Current indicates that any and all scores derived from testing must reflect adult normative data AND/OR that any impact that is a direct result of the stated disability be defined in terms of how it affects the student TODAY. Their documentation must include:
- a clear diagnostic statement of their disability
- a description of the manner in which the disability limits the student in a specified major life activity and the severity of the limitation
- test results (if applicable)
- recommendations for accommodations along with an explicit rationale for each
The student must provide this information to Disabilty Services before accommodation requests can be implemented. Please note that documentation that does not conform to the standards, as outlined, will not be accepted.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Disability Services will maintain the confidentiality of these diagnostic reports to the extent permitted by law and will not release any documentation without a student's informed written consent.
