Escalate inaccessible course material with urgency

When required material cannot be used with a screen reader, a student needs an accountable route and a clear deadline. A coach should avoid asking for unnecessary disability details or promising a repair by a particular hour. Disability services, faculty, and content owners have different responsibilities.

Amara says, "My professor posted a reading yesterday and my screen reader cannot use it. Can you make them change it today?" Coach Luis responds, "I hear that this blocks your work. What is the assignment deadline, and do you have an active accommodation letter with disability services?" Amara says the reading is due tomorrow and the letter is active. Luis says, "Disability services coordinates approved accommodations, and the instructor and content owner address the material. With your permission, I can contact disability services about the deadline and help you send the instructor a short notice. I cannot promise the timing, though we can make sure the right people know the impact today."

Luis treats the deadline as operational information. He does not repeat medical details to the instructor. The student chooses whether the coach shares the minimum information needed for coordination.

Practice a referral message with three parts: material, deadline, and requested contact. Ask a partner to identify any private detail that does not belong. Revise the message, then confirm it names the office responsible for the accommodation process.
