Providing Documentation or Evidence of Disability
Linn-Benton 社区 College’s 可访问性 Resources applies standards for documentation requirements established by the Association for Higher Education and Disabilities (AHEAD).
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 for proving a student’s disability and requests can take a variety of forms.
-
Diagnosing professionals may include a medical or osteopathic doctor, licensed therapist, an educational diagnostician, psychologist or psychiatrist, etc.
-
Documentation should indicate:
-
诊断。
-
发病日期

Recommended accommodations

可访问性 Resources recognizes that students play a vital role in knowing how
the disability impacts them and are a source in determining how a disability limits
them in their lives and education.
- Students who self-report having a disability can often identify how it currently impacts them in classes and on campus.
- Historical information and the student’s self-report may be enough to describe how the condition impacts the student’s learning.
- This is determined on an individual basis. No blanket statement will be made.
- A student’s self report may be required to accompany other types of documentation.
