Verification

Verification is the process of confirming that a student's identified impairment and the associated activity limitations and participation restrictions which require significant education adjustments meet criteria for one or more of the six EAP disability categories:

Verification is carried out by a team of statewide verifiers with experience and relevant qualifications in the particular disability category.

Verification can proceed for students when they are of Prep-eligible age or older and enrolled in a state education facility. Verification in the EAP disability categories of Hearing Impairment, Physical Impairment and Vision Impairment can also occur for eligible students attending non-state schools.

For the criteria and forms related to the disability categories, please refer to the following pages:
