Documenting your Disability

The Centre for Students with Disabilities (CSWD) is responsible for providing accommodation(s) to students with disabilities.

When requesting accommodations or academic supports you will need to provide us with written confirmation of your diagnosis and/or the nature of your disability.

This documentation will help to ensure that you will benefit from every opportunity to succeed.

Because the Centre deals with a wide variety of disabilities/conditions, it is important that you provide your disability counsellor with as much information as possible so that we can understand your needs.

To receive appropriate accommodation(s) and to ensure that you benefit from every opportunity to succeed, the following type of information would be helpful: (as appropriate)

  • The typical symptoms you may experience.
  • The impact of your disability on your schooling, ie; attention, concentration, learning ability, fatigue, absences etc.
  • The type of medication prescribed and the possible side effect(s).
  • Any permanent or temporary impairment.
  • Any treatment that may disrupt your academic program.
  • Any other special considerations.
