Why this matters

It is easier to ask for support when you already know what helps.

Build your menu

List supports by category.

  • Meetings
  • Deadlines
  • Communication
  • Sensory environment
  • Feedback
  • Recovery

Use it carefully

You do not need to share the whole menu. Share the part that applies to the work situation.
