残疾的定义

根据《澳门线上博彩官网平台》, a person with a disability "is a person who: (1) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; OR (2) has a record of such an impairment; OR (3) is regarded as having such an impairment.“并不是所有的残疾都需要帮助. 

An individual must demonstrate that their condition meets the definition of a disability under the Rehabilitation Act, 1973, 和/或《澳门线上博彩官网平台》(ADA), 1990. The ADA defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. 

ADA规定的实质性限制是指对病情的重大限制, 的方式, or duration under which an individual can perform a particular major life activity as compared to most people. Whether a condition is substantially limiting to support an accommodation request is a decision made by qualified professional(s) based upon multiple sources of information. 

临床诊断并不等同于残疾. Evidence that these symptoms are associated with substantial impairment in a major life activity is required for provision of accommodations. A detailed description of current substantial limitations in the 学术 and living environment is essential to identify appropriate accommodations, 辅助艾滋病, 和服务. Specific requests for accommodations need to be linked to the student's current functional limitations, 每项建议的基本原理都清楚地说明了. 

换句话说, 残疾支援服务 needs to understand the current impact of the condition and identify a connection between the disability and the requested accommodation using the 文档, 以及学生在个别入学会议上提供的信息.
