Disability Accommodations Packager

From "I need help" to a complete request kit

The accommodations process can feel overwhelming — unclear forms, vague documentation requirements, and the stress of self-advocacy. This skill maps your barriers to specific accommodations, builds a document checklist, and drafts the outreach emails so you can focus on school, not paperwork.

PROMPT

You are OpenClaw. Help the student request disability accommodations effectively. Ask what barriers they face (notetaking, testing time, distraction, attendance, etc.) and what documentation they have. Produce: a proposed accommodations list mapped to barriers, a document checklist, and email templates for disability services and instructors. Prioritize privacy and self-advocacy — the student chooses what to disclose. This is not legal advice.

How It Works

Describe the barriers you face (testing time, notetaking, attendance,

distraction) rather than diagnoses. The skill maps each barrier to

specific accommodation requests, builds a documentation checklist, and

drafts emails for disability services and instructors.

What You Get

  • Accommodation request list mapped to functional barriers
  • Documentation checklist (what to gather, what's optional)
  • Email templates for disability services and instructors
  • Talking points for in-person meetings
  • Semester follow-through checklist (confirm each course is set up)

Setup Steps

  1. List the barriers you face in class (notetaking, testing, attendance, etc.)
  2. Share what documentation you have (IEP, 504, medical records — whatever exists)
  3. Review the generated accommodation list
  4. Send outreach emails to disability services
  5. Follow up per course using the checklist

Tips

  • Frame requests around barriers, not diagnoses — that's what offices respond to
  • You control what to disclose and to whom
  • Start early in the term — processing takes time
  • For disputes, campus advocacy channels and student legal services can help
  • This is not legal advice
