What documents can I submit?
The type of documentation you will need to submit depends on the type of disability you have. Our medical form allows your health care practitioner to share information about multiple disability related impacts that you are experiencing.
If you have a learning disability as well as other disabilities you can submit both a psychoeducational assessment and our medical form.
Learning disabilities
- A Psychoeducational Assessment is required if you have been diagnosed with a learning disability/disorder.
This assessment should have been completed within the last five years, unless you were at least 18 years old when you were tested. We will accept older assessments as a starting point to register with SAS.
For more information about psychoeducational assessments and what the psychologist should include in a psychoeducational assessment view and share the Psychoeducational Assessment Practitioners Checklist.
