Documentation Guidelines

---

Students requesting support services through the Navarro College Office of Accessibility & Accommodations are required to submit documentation after admission to Navarro College to verify eligibility under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, ADA Amendments Act of 2008, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Academic accommodations provided through the Office of Accessibility and Accommodations ensure equal access to educational activities and programs at Navarro College.

Current documentation must validate the need for services based on an individual’s present level of functioning. In order for a person to qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA Amendments Act of 2008, or Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, a disability must substantially limit a major life function (learning). Therefore, a well-written report with an interpretive summary based on a comprehensive evaluation is a necessary component of documentation. The Office of Accessibility and Accommodations will determine if reasonable and appropriate academic accommodations are warranted and can be provided for an individual.

Documentation guidelines below are for the types of disabilities that might require services:

• Attention Deficit Disorders 

• Autism Spectrum Disorders 

• Blind/Visual Impairments 

• Deaf/Hard of Hearing 

• Learning Disabilities 

• Mental Health Disorders 

• Neurological Disorders/TBI 

• Physical/Orthopedic Conditions 

 

 

 

Please contact the Office of Accessibility & Accomodations if clarification of documentation is needed. The Office of Accessibility & Accommodations will review any previously attained documentation that validates the need for reasonable accommodations.
