Accessibility Resources applies standards for documentation requirements established by the Association for Higher Education and Disabilities (AHEAD).
Students applying for accommodations are responsible for providing current documentation or evidence of disability. Additionally, students are responsible for responding to any requests for additional information from Accessibility Resources in a timely manner.
Disability documentation will vary in weight and value depending on the original context, credentials of the evaluator, and the level of detail provided.
Documentation should be applicable, identifying how the disability affects the student but it may not be necessarily recent. Documentation is meant to supplement and confirm what the student identifies as the barriers to learning or accessing an education.
Acceptable sources of documentation or evidence for proving a student’s disability can take a variety of forms.
These may include information from:
Qualified professionals
Former educational facilities
Vocational Rehabilitation Services
Department of Veterans Affairs
Student's Self-Report (if no documentation exists or additional info is needed)
