Niagara College

Niagara College requires documentation to show proof of a disability. Students are not required to disclose your disability, but documentation should outline:

• The functional limitations imposed by the disability on daily activities, and, if possible, how those limitations relate to participation in postsecondary studies
• Typical symptoms one may experience
• The impact of one's disability on learning, i.e. attention, concentration, learning ability, fatigue, absences, etc.
• Any other special considerations.

We will provide students with our Functional Limitations Assessment form, which allows their health care practitioner to provide Accessibility Services with the information needed to arrange the accommodations that will help best manage program requirements.

A list of eligible health care practitioners includes:

• Audiologist
• Chiropractor
• Neurologist
• Occupational Therapist
• Optometrist
• Ophthalmologist
• Physician (family, specialist, psychiatrist)
• Physiotherapist
• Psychologist or Psychological Associate
• Rheumatologist

Students that already have documentation on hand that does discloses their disability have the option to use the that if they prefer.

For more information about required documentation or how to obtain proof of your disability, contact the Niagara College's Accessibility Services directly.
