Disability Services

The Academic Enrichment Center (AEC) is the College's disability services office, with the Director serving as the 504 Coordinator for students. Students need to submit Earlham's Disability Disclosure Form and appropriate documentation to initiate the disability process.

Disability Documentation

Quality documentation is essential in determining disability status and/or appropriate accommodations. Documentation should demonstrate how a student's condition meets the definition of a disability as defined in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended in 2008. Documentation should also identify the functional limitations of the disability in an educational setting.

An Individual Education Program (IEP), 504 Plan, or a Summary Of Performance (SOP) might provide sufficient information. The determination of an IEP, 504 Plan, or SOP as sufficient documentation is on a case-by-case basis as school corporations differ widely regarding the comprehensive nature of those reports.
