In order to receive appropriate and effective services
and accommodations, students registering with the Student Support Services
office must provide disability documentation from your care provider.
From this documentation, the SSS office can determine your entitlement
to services and accommodations. Once this determination is made, you
simply need to request them in the SSS office in order to access your
accommodations.
Your care provider should provide documentation that includes
as many of the following criteria as possible:
- be conducted by a qualified professional and
include the evaluator's name, title, credentials, license number,
signature and date of evaluation on letterhead.
- include a diagnostic statement identifying the
disability and date of the original diagnosis.
- include a description of the diagnostic criteria
and/or diagnostic test(s) used.
- include a description of the current functional
limitations of the disability in an academic environment.
- include medication (dosage and existing side
effects), assistive devices/services, treatments currently prescribed
or in use.
- include a description of the expected progression
or stability of the impact of the disability over time.
- include recommendations for accommodations,
adaptive devices, assistive services, compensatory strategies to compensate
for the functional limitations.
