DSS asks students to provide us with documentation about their disability and the likely impact of the disability on their educational experiences.
Examples of documentation include:
- Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan
- Medical records such as a patient portal diagnostic summary, office visit summary, audiogram, and vision screening results
- A letter from a healthcare professional
- Neuropsychological assessment report
We recommend that the documentation includes the following information:
- A diagnosis of the disability or health condition
- A description of the current impact and limitations caused by the disability
- The severity of the disability
- Approximate duration of the disability
- A qualified healthcare provider’s identification includes name, title, certification/license, and contact information
