Choose one topic to start

You do not need to solve everything at once.

Job search

Consider the tasks, setting, schedule, sensory environment, and communication style that fit your priorities.

Communication

Plan how you prefer to receive instructions, ask questions, prepare for changes, and get feedback.

Work environment

Notice lighting, noise, interruptions, workspace, breaks, and predictability that affect access for you.

Disclosure choices

You can weigh privacy, support needs, workplace policies, and local protections before deciding what to share.

Accommodation conversations

Describe the work barrier and the change that may help. Ask the relevant employer contact about its process.
