- Everyday difficulty
Background conversation makes it hard for me to concentrate on detailed work.
Describe the effect on your work in your own words. This example does not name a diagnosis.
- Practical request
Could we discuss a quieter workspace for tasks that need sustained concentration?
Ask for a specific change you can discuss. Wording alone does not guarantee agreement.
- Review together
Could we agree when to review whether this adjustment is helping?
Keep your request, your employer's response and any later agreement as separate records.
The request-letter wizard builds an editable workplace accommodation request in small steps. Nothing is sent automatically.
How the wizard flows
Choose conditions or limitations, select accommodations, review the supporting wording, add recipient and workplace details, then edit the complete draft. New drafts start with general health wording; choose whether to include conditions. Your saved manual letter remains yours to edit.
Templates
The initial-request template is free. Accommodated+ adds follow-up, escalation, appeal, return-to-work, and academic templates.
Review agreed adjustments
With Accommodated+, record what was agreed on the request, when it starts, how it is working and what should happen next. Saving adds a dated snapshot to your private timeline while earlier review records stay unchanged. You can also choose a review date and an optional reminder on this device.
Rephrase on device
On a compatible iPhone or iPad running iOS or iPadOS 26 or later, Rephrase can make a draft more assertive, more diplomatic, or shorter using Apple's on-device Foundation Models. The button appears only when the system model is available. Cocoacorn does not receive the letter text.
Export
Copy the text or generate a PDF. Saving, printing, emailing, or sharing passes the document to the destination you choose; that destination handles the file under its own privacy terms.
Clear, editable wording
The templates use direct request language and focus on the work barrier and proposed change. Edit anything that does not accurately describe your situation.
Draft an accommodation request
Use the request wizard to describe what would help at work, choose what to disclose and save a draft to review.
Notes prepared on a table with two chairs, ready for a conversation.
Draft an accommodation request: steps
- Choose a template Choose the template that fits your situation. Locked options retain their normal Accommodated+ requirements.
- Check the recipient Check who the draft is addressed to and your workplace details. Saving a draft does not send it.
- Choose what to disclose Describe the effect on your work. You decide whether to include a diagnosis; include only details you want the recipient to read.
- Choose the adjustments Select the practical adjustments you want to request. These are options to discuss, not confirmation that an employer has agreed.
- Review and save Read and edit the letter before saving. Guidance finishes after the draft saves successfully. Exporting or sending it is a separate choice.
