Documentation Guidelines

All accommodations require proof of diagnosis. Guidelines for types of documentation required can be found above. The site is divided by type of disability (physical, psychological, learning, and ADD/ADHD) for better ease of use.

Temporary Disability Guidelines

For students who are temporarily disabled for an extended period of time due to an accident, injury, or other medical event, temporary accommodations are available. The guidelines for documentation of diagnosis for these cases can be found above.

Other OALA Services

Emergency Procedures

Students who may experience medical emergencies in the classroom are encouraged to contact OALA regarding these scenarios. For students with disabilities, emergency evacuation may look different than their able-bodied classmates. Information about emergency evacuation procedures for disabled students can be found here
