Documentation of Disability

At Chattahoochee Technical College, it is the responsibility of the student to provide documentation of his/her disability. Students may be referred to agencies outside the college to gain the necessary documentation of their disability. Once a referral is made, it is the student’s responsibility to complete the necessary steps to obtain this information.

Students who have physical/emotional disabilities or learning challenges may benefit from reasonable accommodations and/or assistance in the classroom. To request accommodations, equipment, or other services students must provide current professional documentation describing the disability and appropriate accommodations. Disabilities may be temporary or permanent, and can include: physical impairments: (i.e. visual, hearing, mobility, chronic illness, speech), psychological impairments (i.e. depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia, OCD), or learning disorders (i.e. learning disabilities, acquired brain injuries, ADD, ADHD).
