Documentation Guidelines

Before you may request accommodations, documentation of the disability must be provided. Documentation should be as current as possible (typically within three years) and must be furnished by a licensed medical or psychological examiner on official letterhead and signed by the examiner. Reports by nurses, counselors, social workers, record clerks and statements written on prescription pads are not acceptable.
