Disability Verification Form (Form 1)
DISABILITY VERIFICATION FORM (Form 1)
Medical Provider Verification
Dear Health Care Professional,
One of your patients is a student at Lone Star College requesting a disability-based academic
accommodation. Accommodations are made for qualified students with a disability in order for
them to equally participate in all programs and services offered by the College to ensure
compliance with all applicable disability laws. In order for the Disability Services Office to
determine the student’s accommodation eligibility, we need your clinical assessment/diagnosis of
the student. You may fax us a copy, but our records must include an original with your signature
and business card. In addition to the form provided, you may provide supplemental information
on your letterhead.
In order for the student to be certified as eligible, the documentation must show how the disability
substantially limits one or more major life activities. Current and relevant information is required
in order to determine the appropriate reasonable accommodation that may be offered to the student.
All information should be completed by a medical provider qualified to diagnose and treat
the student’s disability.
Please provide the following:
1.
A completed and signed Provider Verification packet for each disability and
2.
Staple your business card to each Provider Verification packet.
The information you provide will be kept confidential in accordance to the Family Education
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and may be released to the student upon written request for
records.
If you have any questions regarding this form or opportunities for the student, please contact
Disability Services at the information listed below. We may also contact you directly for
supplemental information if necessary to make a determination.
Thank you for your assistance,
