Workplace Communication Planner
Choose a task and barrier to create a discussion outline. The site does not receive these selections. The result is educational and is not a formal accommodation request or legal opinion.
Do not enter names, diagnoses, employer details or other sensitive information.
Choose the task and barrier
Your outline will describe the functional problem, options to discuss, a way to trial them and questions about responsibility and follow-up.
Use functional language
“I cannot hear at work” is broad. “During weekly hybrid meetings, I miss questions from people away from the room microphone and cannot reliably capture assigned action items” identifies the task, barrier and impact. That description makes it easier to compare captions, microphone placement, turn-taking, written follow-up and other effective options.
