DISABILITY SERVICES (DS)
SNU provides services for all students with disabilities as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 as amended by the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADA). A qualified person with a disability
means: "an individual with a disability who, with or without reasonable modifications to rules, policies,
or practices, the removal of architectural, communication, or transportation barriers, or the provision of
auxiliary aids and service, meets the essential eligibility requirements for the receipt of services or the
participation in programs or activities provided by a public entity"(Public Law 101-336, Sec. 201).
Students are required to self-identify and to provide documentation of their disability prior to the
provision of services.
In the case of medical disability, documentation from a physician is appropriate. In the case of learning
disability, acceptable documentation includes a psycho-educational evaluation performed by a licensed
clinical psychologist if the diagnosis was made after the completion of high school or psychoeducational
evaluation from an accredited high school. Documentation provided to request academic
accommodations must be less than three years old and must contain specific recommendations for
accommodations appropriate to the diagnosed disability. Students with a disability that may affect
academic success are encouraged to contact Disability Services at (405) 717-6272 for more information.
