Disability documentation usually takes the form of a medical assessment. It must be a comprehensive assessment including:

• Descriptions of the diagnostic criteria and diagnostic test(s) used to establish the existence of a disability or medical condition;
• Functional impact of the disability on specific major life activities (e.g., learning, walking, talking, concentrating, seeing);
• Treatments, accommodations, assistive devices, and support services currently employed to ameliorate the disability or minimize its impact;
• Recommendations and the rationale for proposed accommodations, assistive devices, and support services; and
• Statement of functional impacts or limitations upon the individual with respect to major life activity and their need for accommodation in an academic setting.
