Student Disability Services Documentation Form

Please note: A clinician with expertise in the area of the condition following best practices in the field and not related to the student should complete this form.

In order for us to provide disability-related services and accommodation, we need to establish that this individual has a physical or mental impairment that limits one or more of the major life activities, understand the impact of that disability in higher education settings, and determine reasonable accommodations and services that may assist in ameliorating these impacts. Complete documentation guidelines are available at: https://oie.jhu.edu/ada-compliance/documentation-guidelines
