残疾文件指引
The laws guiding eligibility for accommodations in grades K-12 and post-secondary educational settings differ. Current documentation (generally within one to five years depending on the nature of the disability and the requested accommodation), 包括符合大学要求的推荐信, will help to support your transition to Harvey Mudd College and/or will help us to understand the barriers you encounter in accessing your education in order to better inform what accommodations you may need and qualify for.
文档有三个用途:
- 确定该学生可被视为残疾人士, and therefore eligible for protection against discrimination on the basis of disability.
- To supplement information from the student regarding the impact of the disability.
- To inform the development of reasonable accommodation (辅助艾滋病 and services) designed to facilitate equal access to HMC environments on a case-by-case basis.
学生 requesting academic accommodations must provide appropriate documentation of their disability in accordance with the guidelines listed below. Accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Rehabilitation Act.
不确定文件是否足够的学生, or are not sure how the 无障碍教育办公室 can address concerns, 和卡特里娜·萨拉查讨论的话题, 负责学生无障碍服务的副院长. The 无障碍教育办公室 can help to determine what documentation may be useful based on the situation and or request(s) and can connect students with resources in the community.
文档需求
评估者的资格证书
文件必须由适当的, licensed (or otherwise properly credentialed) professional who has undergone comprehensive training in their specific field, 有相关经验, 并且与被评估的个体没有私人关系.
确定残疾的诊断声明
Documentation should include a clear diagnostic 状态ment that describes how the condition was diagnosed, 提供有关功能影响的信息, 并详细说明病情的典型进展或预后. 虽然DSM和ICF代码有助于提供这些信息, 完整的临床描述也将传达必要的信息.
在评估中使用的诊断方法的描述
文档应包括诊断标准的描述, 评价方法, 程序, 测试和管理日期, 以及临床叙述, 观察, 以及具体的结果. 在适合残疾性质的情况下, having both summary data and specific test scores (with the norming population identified) within the report is recommended. Examples of assessment instruments for learning disabilities include: WAIS-IV, Woodcock-Johnson-IV, 斯坦福大学比奈, & WIAT-III.
对当前功能限制的描述
Documentation should include information on how the disabling condition(s) currently impacts the individual, provides useful information for both establishing a disability and identifying possible accommodations. Documentation should demonstrate whether and how a major life activity is substantially limited by providing a clear sense of the severity, 情况的发生频率和普遍性.
对残疾的预期进展或稳定性的描述
Documentation should provide information on expected changes in the functional impact of the disability over time and context. Information on the cyclical or episodic nature of the disability and known or suspected environmental triggers to episodes provides opportunities to anticipate and plan for varying functional impacts.
描述当前和过去的住宿、服务和用药情况
文件应包括当前药物的描述, 辅助艾滋病, 辅助设备, 支持服务, 和住宿, including their effectiveness in ameliorating the functional impact of the disability. Information on significant side effects from current medications that may impact the student’s academic performance is also helpful.
住宿、服务和补偿策略的建议
Documentation should include recommendations from professionals with a history of working with the individual. Each recommended accommodation should include a rationale that correlates with particular functional limitations which are supported by specific assessment results, 临床观察或其他专业措施. 学生 should understand that we will consider all recommendations but that the College will ultimately determine what accommodations are appropriate and necessary.
NOTE: If a disability is apparent and the need for requested accommodations can easily be established, 可能不需要额外的文档.

HIPPA privacy and confidentiality guides do not apply to submitted documents as they are not being used for treatment.
