Such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders, depression, bipolar, etc. need to come from a licensed mental health professional including clinical social workers, counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologist:

• A clear statement of the disability, including the DSM-IV diagnosis and a summary of present symptoms

• Must reflect the current impact the psychiatric/psychological disability has on the student’s functioning (the age of acceptable documentation is dependent upon the disabling condition, the current status of the student and the student’s specific request for accommodations).

• A summary of assessment procedures and evaluation instruments used to make the diagnosis, including evaluation results and standardized scores if applicable.

• A statement of the functional impact or limitations of the disability on learning or other major life activities and the degree to which it impacts the individual in the learning context for which accommodations are being requested

• Medical information relating to the student’s needs, including the impact of medication on the student’s ability to meet the demands of the postsecondary environment

Further assessment by an appropriate professional may be required if co-existing learning disabilities or other disabling conditions are indicated.
