Mobility Disability Verification Form Disability Support Services (housed in the Academic Support Center of the Larrance Academic Center) is committed to providing equal access and reasonable accommodations, where appropriate, for qualified disabled students as covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), as amended, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and other legal mandates. The ADA defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. In addition, in order for a student to be considered eligible to receive academic accommodations, the documentation must show functional limitations that impact the individual in an academic setting. Documentation must be received in a timely manner (one week prior to requested accommodation use) before accommodations can begin. The law stipulates that, in a postsecondary setting, a student does not qualify for services until they have registered with the disability office and have been certified for eligibility. Retroactive accommodations are not made. The Academic Support Center requires current and comprehensive documentation in order to determine appropriate accommodations. It is in the student’s best interest to provide recent and appropriate documentation that is not more than 5 years old for physical disabilities. The outline below has been developed to assist the student in working with the treating or diagnosing healthcare professional(s) in obtaining the specific information necessary to evaluate eligibility for academic accommodations. A. The healthcare professional conducting the assessment and/or making the diagnosis must be qualified to do so. The persons are generally trained, certified or licensed psychologists or members of a medical specialty. B. All parts of the form must be complete as thoroughly as possible. Inadequate information, incomplete answers and/or illegible handwriting will delay the eligibility review process by necessitating follow up contact for clarification. C. The healthcare provider should attach any reports which provide additional related information (e.g. psycho-educational testing, neuropsychological test results, etc.). If a comprehensive diagnostic report is available that provides the requested information, copies of that report can be submitted for documentation instead of this form. D. After completing this form, sign it, complete the Healthcare Provider Information section on the last page and mail or fax it to us at North Central College, Attn: Academic Support, 30 N. Brainard Ave., Naperville, IL 60540 or 630-637-5462. The information you provide will be kept in the student’s file at ASC. This form may be released to the student at his/her request. In addition to the requested information, please attach any other information you think would be relevant to the student’s academic adjustment. If you have any questions regarding this form, please call the ASC at 630-637-5266. Thank you for your assistance.
