Revised Guidance Regarding Documentation Practices
Presented by:
Jean Ashmore, AHEAD President
L. Scott Lissner, AHEAD President-Elect
Carol Funckes, Chair AHEAD Standing Committee on Professional Development
Jo Anne Simon, Attorney At Law
In mid-May 2012 AHEAD ended its previous “best practice” guidance on issues related to disability documentation in postsecondary education, and published new guidance, Supporting Accommodation Requests: Guidance on Documentation Practices from the Association on Higher Education And Disability. http://www.ahead.org/resources/documentation_guidance
AHEAD’s new framework presents a comprehensive, reasonable approach to using information available from a variety of sources to guide appropriate decision-making and support equal treatment and the provision of accommodations. In an effort to ensure that all AHEAD members and other constituencies are aware of and understand this new, substantively different guidance, AHEAD offered a Tele-webconference on Thursday, May 24th, 2012.
