Lesson Overview

17.18 – Requesting Accommodations Without Shame: Asking for academic or emotional accommodations is not asking for favors—it’s exercising your right to equal learning access. Start by listing what helps you perform better: breaks, extended time, quiet seating. Meet with your counselor or 504/IEP coordinator to discuss formal options. Speak from self-awareness, not apology. Staff respect students who advocate clearly for their needs. Bring documentation if possible to make the process smoother. Remember, accommodations don’t mean you’re incapable—they mean you’re self-aware. Using them wisely reduces anxiety and boosts performance. Confidence grows when you stop seeing help as weakness and start seeing it as strategic self-care.
