Eligibility

To be eligible to receive accommodations, students must provide the following recent documentation specifying the nature of the specific disability (e.g., ADD, physical, psychological or other impairment) for which accommodation is requested:

• For students with learning disabilities: A recent WAIS-R with sublist scaled scores, a psychoeducational evaluation specifying the nature of the learning disability, and individually administered achievement test scores in reading skills, comprehension, math and spelling, including grade equivalents and percentiles or Individualized Education Plan (IEP).  Documentation cannot be more than three years old.
• For students with ADD/ADHD: Documentation must be provided by psychologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, and other relevantly trained medical doctors, and cannot be more than three years old.
• For students with psychiatric disabilities: It is essential that documentation is provided by individuals holding appropriate licensure/certification.  Qualified evaluations include those from psychologists, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers and psychiatric nurse practitioners.  Documentation cannot be more than six months old.

Diagnoses of these disabilities documented by family members will not be accepted, even when the family members are otherwise qualified by virtue of training and licensure, due to professional and ethical considerations.
