## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Locate the participation step creating an access barrier, allowing organizers to investigate the actual activity. Ask about arrangements needed rather than personal diagnoses or medical histories.
2. Identify an alternative format or adjustment that could make the named step usable. Verify feasibility with affected participants instead of assuming one adjustment suits everyone.
3. Choose a support-request route people can use comfortably, including an appropriate private option. Explain the actual handling arrangements rather than promise confidentiality that has not been verified.
4. Find an information format the participant can use for the activity's instructions. Compare access needs without requiring disclosure of why another format is difficult.
5. Locate friction in asking for support, such as unclear contacts or requirements. Simplify the request process without making people demonstrate a diagnosis to explain an arrangement.

Interpretation caution: Ask about access needs without requiring diagnoses or sensitive personal histories.


## Illustrative finding and follow-up

Observation: Illustrative feedback identifies an inaccessible instruction format without requiring personal diagnoses.

Action to test: Provide an alternative format and a clear optional support request route.

Follow-up: After testing the action, revisit this original observation: Illustrative feedback identifies an inaccessible instruction format without requiring personal diagnoses. Repeat the relevant experience prompts with people who encountered the change. Compare specific explanations and sample differences; do not claim causation from the before-and-after responses.
