Student Accommodation Plan

Written by D.P. for “Feminist Disability Studies”

When I was in middle school, I went through a period of chronic anxiety and physical disability. Around that time, my parents worked with a counselor and the administration at my school to draft a 504 plan as an accommodation. This poem is a blackout piece using the real language found on the 504 plan document recontextualized with what I know now and my memory of how I felt at the time.
