Step 3. Provide Documentation

Documentation needs to be uploaded directly to Accommodate.

Documents need to be either in PDF format or DOCX format.

The accommodations process is interactive and requires documentation of the disabling condition and functional limitations that result. Under the 2008 ADA Amendment Act, key questions that should be addressed in documentation include:

  • Is there clear evidence of a disability?
  • What is the impact of the disability?
  • Does it substantially limit a major life activity?
  • Is there history of receiving services?
