Therefore, they cannot provide students with documentation letters to apply for accommodations.If you are unsure about your health care provider’s legal ability, please reach out to disability@naropa.eduNote: There are instances when an alternative medicine practitioner may also hold a medical license or other allied health care license and might be able to diagnose you. Please ask your provider before investing in treatment.
