What testing do I need for learning disability documentation?



Documentation must support the need for requested accommodation(s), and must

•state the diagnosed disability.
•be current, within the last 3 years, be a complete IQ test, and utilize the most recently normed testing instrument.
•include complete educational, developmental, and medical history relevant to the disability for which accommodations are being requested.
•describe the functional limitations resulting from the disability and list the tests or techniques used to arrive at the diagnosis of the disability (include evaluation date[s] and test results with relevant subtest scores).
•describe the specific accommodations requested.
•state why the disability qualifies the applicant for such accommodation(s) in a college environment.
•be typed or printed on official letterhead and signed by an official evaluator qualified to make the diagnosis (include information about license or certification and area of specialization). (Ahead.org)
