Adjust position, space or sensory demands · S7.15
Communicate a sensory accommodation
A sensory feature of a setting is making participation harder.
Everyday practice
Try these steps
- Identify the feature you want changed without needing to explain its history.
- Request a practical adjustment, such as lower sound, different lighting, more space, or another format.
- Choose whether to continue, pause, or use another setting if the adjustment is unavailable.
An example
Could we move to a quieter room? I do not want to discuss why right now.
Reflect
Was the accommodation request specific enough to act on?
Next time
Keep useful preference wording for future settings.
