Directions for documentation:
Candidates requesting reasonable accommodations because of disabilities covered by applicable laws must provide photocopies of documentation according to these standards:
1. The documentation must be an evaluation and/or diagnosis by a licensed professional. The diagnosis must be within the professional's scope of practice. If testing was performed on the candidate, the results of those tests must be provided.
2. The documentation must be signed by the licensed professional on official letterhead from that person's practice. The professional must be clearly identified by name and profession.
3. The documentation must be from within the last three (3) years.
4. The documentation must state the diagnosis clearly and must specify what accommodations are required for the candidate to experience a fair educational experience. The accommodations must be presented as a requirement given the nature of the disability, not as a suggestion.
5. Documentation from a school psychologist is only acceptable if the candidate is still a student in that school system. IEPs and 504 plans from a candidate's secondary education or earlier are not acceptable because they are administrative documents, not the evaluations of licensed professionals, and they are not assessments of the candidate as an adult.
Documentation must be sent directly from the medical professional that completed the evaluation
