• The diagnosis and the duration of the authorized use of the orthopedic device.

• Anticipated length of time the student will be excused from P.E./recess/sports.

• Footwear that is not part of the uniform policy has been authorized by the physician or other appropriate medical personnel if it is to be worn for an extended period.
