Setting up Disabilities
Before selecting Disabilities, you should add them accordingly in Administration -> Standard Values -> Learner Values -> Disabilities, here there will be a default list of disabilities with details.
Tip When entering the different Disabilities, you should select/enter the LLDD and Disability Code as per the ILR specification. This will save you time later when filling this in.
