A temporary disability (unlike a permanent disability such as diagnosed learning/developmental disabilities, blindness, deafness, chronic medical conditions, etc.) is a new condition with acute symptoms that a student can expect to fully recover from.

Examples of temporary disabilities include:

• Sprains, strains or fractures
• Concussions
• Impairments in physical or psychological health following motor vehicle accidents
• Newly diagnosed mental health conditions for which treatment and evaluation is ongoing
• Return to studies following surgery
• Undiagnosed disabilities for which a student is actively pursuing assessment and evaluation by a regulated healthcare practitioner
• One or more of the conditions mentioned above that accompanies another permanent, diagnosed disability

Please note that common illnesses, such as the cold and flu, are not considered a temporary disability that would warrant accommodations through 2025 星空传媒 Services unless the illness leads to an exacerbation of existing conditions or results in new diagnoses that would fall under the temporary disability category.
