Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

Oluwaseun wants a later start time. What is an adjustment for?

 

An adjustment removes a barrier so a person can do the job on equal terms. It is not an advantage and it does not replace the work.

Lesson 1, Why asking matters, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Your employer offers a different change from the one you asked for, and it works for you. What is this called?

 

An accommodation has to be effective, but it does not have to be your first choice.

Lesson 2, What you can ask for, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

Which opening is a clear request?

 

A clear request names the task, the reason in your own words, and what would help.

Lesson 3, Making the request, teaches this. See the outline
