Guidelines for Specific Disabilities
Student Disability Services has developed guidelines and verification forms to assist
students in gathering the information needed for certain specific disabilities. These
guidelines and verification forms are intended to facilitate the gathering of the
information needed by the ADA Committee in its review. The guidelines and verification
forms should not be interpreted as a restriction on the type or quality of information
that the ADA Committee may require. The Committee may, for example, need updated or
additional information regarding a request or disability, even though the updated
or additional information is not mentioned in the guidelines or verification form.
