Asking for Accommodations — Practice worksheet
Draft a request for written information, quieter space, flexible timing, or another personally relevant support.
15 minutes · Worksheet · Adults; supported use as appropriate
Fictional example: Casey understands appointments better with a written summary.
Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. Accommodations can reduce environmental barriers rather than demanding more endurance.
1. Choose a workable example
Use the fictional example below or an ordinary situation of your choosing. Keep identifying details out of shared copies.
2. Try the practice
Draft a request for written information, quieter space, flexible timing, or another personally relevant support.
3. Compare possibilities
Generate at least two interpretations or options. Mark what you know, what you are guessing, and what remains outside your control.
4. Decide together
What change would improve access to care or participation? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
