Register with SSD

Here is the general registration process:

Before you are able to make an appointment with a Coordinator from SSD, you must first provide documentation for your impairment. The various verification forms can be downloaded from our website at the web links below or hard copies can be picked up in our office. Completed paperwork can be faxed to 734-936-3947, emailed to ssdoffice@umich.edu, or brought to our office at G664 Haven Hall. The documentation we are typically looking for is as follows:

• For Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) you will need your testing/report that was generated regarding your impairment/diagnosis; ideally we would like a Psychoeducational and/or a Neuropsychological Test that was completed within the last 5 years (using adult testing measures only). If you do not have a psychological evaluation, your treatment provider will need to fill out our ADHD Verification Form.
• For Autistic Spectrum Disorder, documentation must provide objective, current evidence of impairment in whatever domain the student is seeking accommodations. If the main impairment is cognitive a Neuropsychological Test completed within the last 5 years (using adult testing measures only) is warranted. If the main impairment is chronic health, then a verification form for a Chronic Health Condition must be completed. If the main impairment is mental health, then you will need to have a certified professional fill out a verification form for a Mental Health Condition.
• For Acquired/Traumatic Brain Injury, if the primary impairment is cognitive, e.g. learning, attention, memory, etc., then a psychological evaluation is warranted. If the primary impairment is chronic health, e.g. seizure disorder, then a verification form for a Chronic Health Condition must be completed. If the primary impairment is mental health, e.g. anxiety, depression, etc., then you will need to have a certified professional fill out a verification form for a Mental Health Condition.
• For a Learning Disability you must have a current Neuropsychological Test (within the last 5 years or after 16 years of age using adult testing measures only). See the Learning Disability Criteria.
• For a Chronic Health Condition, a verification form for a Chronic Health Condition must be completed. Once our office receives the paperwork, you may call Dan Measel to set up an appointment.
• For a Mental Health Condition such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, etc., you need to have a certified professional fill out a verification form for a Mental Health Condition.
• For Deaf or Hard of Hearing, please send in your Audiology Test/Report (within the last three years) and/or all documentation related to your diagnosis. Once the paperwork is received, you may call Jill Rice to set up an appointment.
• For Visual Impairments, please send  in the report (within the last three years) and/or all documentation related to your diagnosis. Once the paperwork is received, you may call Dan Measel to set up an appointment.
• For Mobility Impairments (Temporary or Permanent) please send the report pertaining to your diagnosis. Once the paperwork is received, you may call Dan Measel to set up an appointment.
