activities. To receive services students must provide current documentation of their disability from a qualified professional. The Board of Regent's criteria for evaluations must be followed in the documentation of learning disabilities or attention deficit disorders.

It is important to note that the Office of Disability Services may require advance notice (two months or more before the student's first of class) in order to coordinate reasonable accommodations. Please contact the Office of Disability Services in order to schedule an appointment.

Certain auxiliary aid services, like sign-language interpreters, may take several months to coordinate. Augusta State University uses the services of the National Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic to provide books on tape for students who have a documented need for this accommodation. Depending on availability, books on tape may take seven to ten days (if already available on tape) to several months for production (if the text is not available on tape). It is therefore necessary for students who need specialized services to plan their future accommodations at least a semester in advance.

Learning Disabilities (LD): If you have been diagnosed within the last three years or believe that you have a learning disability, you should contact the Coordinator of Disability services for information relating to LD documentation and testing. The Office of Disability Services does not provide testing for learning disabilities. Referrals to the appropriate University System Board of Regents Testing Center, however, can be received through this office. Testing may also be conducted by a qualified professional utilizing the BOR criteria for outside evaluations (only assessments using the BOR criteria for outside evaluations will be accepted as documentation of a learning disability). In assisting students with learning disabilities, Augusta State University follows the definition and criteria for evaluation established by the Board of Regents of the University system of Georgia.

For more detailed information contact the Office of Disability Services in the Counselling and Testing Center at 706-737-1471 (TDD-706-667-4175). The Counselling and Testing Center is located in Bellevue Hall.
