My Learning Access Plan
Use fictional examples. Leave out diagnoses, medical information, names, passwords and contact details.
Learning goal: Communicate material and environmental access needs while retaining challenging goals.
Planning access early can prevent unnecessary barriers. You can name what you need without sharing medical information. Adults are responsible for arranging accessible instruction with you.
- Choose a real or made-up learning situation. Leave out names, diagnoses and private details.
- Explore the three activities. Choose supports that fit you; skip any that do not.
- Write, type, draw, point, sign, use AAC or ask someone to scribe your own ideas.
- Choose one next step and an adult who can help make it possible.
Grades 3–5 support: Use the prompts and examples, or explain your ideas in your own way. Ask for words, a scribe or one direction at a time.

My Learning Access Plan
Accessibility & alternative responses
Support screen-reader navigation, magnification and nonvisual responses. Large print does not replace Braille or other individualized access.
Teacher facilitation
Provide accessible materials before the lesson, describe visual content and keep pathways clear. Do not substitute passive listening for participation. Consult qualified staff for Braille/tactile formats.
Family-use suggestion
Invite the learner to choose what to share. Try one support together, ask what helped, and change the plan with their permission. Do not turn this sheet into a test or require private information.
Specialist formats
These printouts are not Braille. Embossed Braille and specialist tactile materials need qualified, technically validated production. The accessible digital version supplies structured text, not a specialist-format substitute.
