In addition to medical evidence from your doctor or other medical provider, you can submit evidence to support your disability claim from nonmedical sources to show the severity of you impairment and how it affects your ability to work; or if you are a child, your ability to perform age-appropriate activities compared to that of other children the same age who do not have impairments. Evidence from a nonmedical source means any information or statements from a nonmedical source about any issue in a claim. Nonmedical sources include, but are not limited to:
- Educational personnel (e.g., school teachers, counselors, early intervention team members, developmental center workers, and daycare center workers);
- Public and private social services agencies;
- Family members
- Caregivers;
- Employers.
