## Prompt

```text
Help me write a request for a disability or accessibility accommodation.

**Who I'm asking:** [e.g. my landlord, my child's school, a college disability office, a government office, a doctor's office, an event venue]
**Who needs the accommodation:** [me / my child / my parent]
**What I need:** [e.g. a ground-floor appointment, a sign language interpreter, large-print documents, extra time on tests, a service animal, a ramp, phone appointments instead of in person]
**Why, in as much detail as I'm comfortable sharing:** [how the barrier affects access - I don't need to give a diagnosis]
**Supporting documents I have:** [e.g. letter from a doctor, previous accommodation plan]
**Deadline or event date:** [DATE]
**My location:** [COUNTRY/STATE]

Requirements:
- State the request in the first two sentences and be specific about what would work.
- Explain the barrier and how the accommodation removes it. Share only what's needed - not my full medical history.
- Offer alternatives that would also work, if any.
- Ask for a reply by a date in bold and for the response in writing.
- Tone: confident and cooperative, not apologetic.

Return:
1. The request letter or email.
2. A note on rights that may apply where I live, with law names marked [CONFIRM] - general information, not legal advice.
3. What to do if they refuse or don't respond: ask for the reason in writing, propose alternatives, and where to get free help (e.g. disability rights organizations) [CONFIRM].
