You can describe a barrier and request a change that makes a service accessible.
The idea
State the difficulty, then ask clearly: Could you provide captions? You can give a reason with because.
Examples
- The stairs prevent me from reaching the office; could we meet on the ground floor?
- I am deaf, so I would like an interpreter for the appointment.
- Could you send the form in an accessible digital format?
- The background noise makes it hard for me to hear; is a quieter room available?
- My colleague needs captions to follow the training video.
- If a longer appointment is possible, I can explain what I need at my own pace.
