Disability Documentation

In order to provide reasonable accommodations, DARC must first verify your status as a student with a disability. To do this, we rely on third-party documentation to verify the condition/diagnosis and student self-report to understand the impact. To begin the self-report process, please click the button below.

Documentation may include assessments, reports, and/or letters from qualified evaluators, professionals, or institutions. Common sources of documentation may include health care providers, psychologists, diagnosticians, and/or information from a previous school (e.g., accommodation agreements/letters, 504, or IEP).
