Social Security Disability Terms

Acceptable Medical Sources

These are primary treaters, such as physicians, licensed psychologists, optometrists, and licensed speech language pathologists.

Supporting sources are chiropractors, physical therapists, and social workers. The supporting sources are supporting because they cannot be used as the primary source to establish an impairment.

Additional evidence can come from lay persons such as teachers, day care persons and employers.
