What documentation of disability is a student required to provide?
Students who require accommodation should provide enough expert documentation to facilitate accommodation. In most cases, the student will have to provide documentation from an expert in the area of the specific disability, such as a chartered educational psychologist for learning disabilities, a psychiatrist for psychiatric disabilities, an audiologist for hearing disabilities, or an ophthalmologist for visual disabilities. Where the disability is not obvious or may be unique, the student should provide as much expert documentation as they have at the time of the request and be prepared to collect and provide more.
