2. Identify potential accessibility barriers in the physical space, digital tools, and communication methods.
3. Provide specific recommendations for each area: physical modifications (e.g., ramps, wide doorways), digital accessibility (e.g., screen reader compatibility, captioning), and communication (e.g., plain language, alternative formats).

• Flag assumptions about the specific needs of employees.
• Stay within the scope of accessibility design; avoid unrelated HR advice.
