Make room for your needs

Your time, feelings, and boundaries matter, too. Think about what support you need and who you feel comfortable asking.

Name the need clearly

Try separating what is happening from what you need next. You might need an explanation, communication access, help understanding an instruction, or a way to raise a concern. A clear description can help you decide which available channel to use.

Keep your own priorities visible

Your identity includes more than the situation you are in. Within the choices available to you, think about relationships, learning, routine, and activities that matter to you. If you want help addressing a specific need, ask how to make the request and how to check its status.

Questions to carry with you

  • What is the most immediate need?
  • How can I describe it using a specific example?
  • Who can explain the appropriate request process?

One manageable next step

Write a brief account of one need and the response you are seeking. Keep dates and facts separate from interpretations.
