Eligibility/Documentation


ELIGIBILITY FOR SERVICES

The Office of Disability Resources (O.D.R.) is responsible for providing reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities on campus.  The Madonna University O.D.R. staff is committed to the philosophy of “full integration” of individuals with disabilities in campus life.  In order to be eligible for services, students must submit recent documentation of their disability to the office in order to receive an accommodation at the university.

DOCUMENTATION OF DISABILITY

Generally, proper documentation will be through an independent evaluation by a professional familiar with your specific disability.  This documentation should be presented on the professional’s letterhead containing the following information:
   

One Name and credentials of the evaluator.
  
Two Where and when the students was seen and for what purpose.
  
Three A summary of the diagnostic overview.
  
Four A description of the evaluation method, e.g., tests performed, procedures used, etc.
  
Five The results or findings of the evaluation, e.g., test scores, or clinically significant observations of the evaluator.
  
Six A specific ICD-9-CD or DSM-IV diagnosis (when appropriate).
  
Seven A description of the student’s current level of functioning and any substantial physical, psychological, or emotional limitations associated with the impairment underlying the diagnosis.
  
Eight Any relevant history.
  
Nine Prognosis.
  
Ten  A description of the effect of the disability in an educational setting by explaining the rationale for suggested accommodations linked directly  to the disability, including the functional limitations presented.
  
Eleven Recommendations for accommodations.
