Documentation helps us understand how your disability impacts your education. The type of documentation accepted depends on your disability and may include one or more of the following:

• Evaluation or assessment reports (for example, psychoeducational, neuropsychological, or medical evaluations)

• A recent Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan from your previous school

• A letter or report from a qualified professional such as a physician, psychologist, psychiatrist, or licensed specialist

• Diagnostic records or medical history related to your condition

• A completed Morton College Disability Verification Form (may be required in some cases)

Please note: Documentation must be recent and relevant to the accommodation request. It must be provided by a qualified treating or diagnosing professional who has no personal relationship with the student and must include:

• A diagnostic statement identifying the disability (including diagnostic code when applicable)

• An explanation of how the disability impacts the student in an educational setting

• A description of major life activities affected by the impairment (such as memory, concentration, learning, thinking, walking, standing, sitting, seeing, hearing, or social interactions)

• Identified functional limitations

• Diagnostic information or test scores when applicable

• Recommended accommodations

• The professional’s name, title, license number, address, phone number, and signature

Please reach out to the Office of Student Accommodations with any questions regarding documentation.
