Verification Form
Physical Health Disorders
Bucks County Community College’s Accessibility Office (TAO) has established the Verification Form for Physical Health Disorders to
obtain current information from a licensed medical practitioner regarding a student’s physical health 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 medical reports or secondary school documentation. Any
documentation, including this Verification Form, must meet Bucks County Community College’s TAO guidelines for Physical Health
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:
