Documentation Guidelines

Documentation consists of an evaluation by an appropriate professional that relates the current impact of the condition to the requester.

Documentation should include:

  • A diagnostic statement including date of most recent evaluation
  • The current impact of (or limitations imposed by) the condition
  • Treatments, medications, devices or services currently prescribed or used to minimize the impact of the condition
  • The expected duration, stability, or progressing of the condition

The following can be used to guide the professional and student for providing adequate documentation.

  • The evaluator must attach copies or summaries of the specific tests, measures or clerical data used to establish each criteria, and include his/her signature.
