Disorders of vision are sensory conditions which result in partial or complete lack of sight.
Documentation of this disability should:
- be in the form of a letter from either a physician (M.D.) or an ophthalmologist (M.D.)
- include date(s) of evaluations and assessments
- include visual acuity and visual field limitations as well as pertinent medical history including age of onset and cause of impairment
- review medications and their possible effects on academic performance
- include a discussion of how the presence of the disability has impacted academic functioning
- includes a rationale for any academic accommodations presently recommended
SAS' Documentation of Visual Impairment Form may be used in such circumstances.
Note: Provision of a CNIB registration number is considered sufficient proof of blindness.
