Verification Form
Neurological Disorders
Bucks County Community College’s Accessibility Office (TAO) has established the Verification Form for Neurological Disorders to
obtain current information from a qualified practitioner (e.g., physician, neurologist, and neuropsychologist) regarding a student’s
neurological disorder, associated symptoms, related medications, and their impact on the student and his or her need for
accommodations. This Verification Form may supplement information that is provided in other reports, including neurological
reports, neuropsychological evaluations, or secondary school documentation. Any documentation, including this Verification Form,
must meet Bucks County Community College’s TAO guidelines for Neurological Disorders. The person completing this form may not
be a relative of the student or hold power of attorney over the student.
A summary of the guideline criteria for documenting hearing impairments can be found at the following web site:
http://www.bucks.edu/student/accessibility/student-info/. A summary of the guideline criteria for documenting Neurological
Disorders is as follows:
1. Evidence of current neurological impairment
2. Functional impairment affecting an important life skill, including academic functioning
3. Symptoms and functional impairment attributed to neurological disorder determined through the administration of a
neurological diagnostic test and/or a neuropsychological evaluation
4. Exclusion of alternative diagnoses
5. History relevant to current neurological impairment
6. Summary and recommendations
