dyslexiaReasonable adjustments email builder
Answer three sets of questions — get a professional email requesting adjustments, ready to send to your manager or HR. Nothing is stored. Takes about 2 minutes.
Where are you based?
This sets the correct legal language. UK uses "reasonable adjustments" under the Equality Act 2010. US uses "reasonable accommodations" under the ADA.
Who are you sending this to?
The tone and framing shifts depending on the recipient.
Your details (optional — used in the email draft only)
Which of these affect you at work?
Tick everything that applies. You don't have to use all of them in the email — you'll choose the adjustments next.
What adjustments do you want to request?
Tick the ones you want included in your email. You can request as many as you like — it is not unusual to request several at once.
Step 1: have the conversation first
Your conversation planner
A quick, informal chat with your manager or HR is nearly always the right first move. It is less formal, less adversarial, and often gets results faster than an email. Use these notes to prepare — you don't need to say everything, just have them in your head.
