How to talk to teachers?

So, I'm trying to get accommodations but unfortunately I have to wait until the psych place sends the documents before I can officially get accommodations. How do I talk to my professors about some of the problems I have been having? The disability service recommended that I talk to them because I have been having problems. Do I tell them what's causing my problems?

I would think that all you need to address is the issues that you are having in class and that you are awaiting doctors documentation for accommodations. I would then ask what they would recommend in the mean time. I teach elementary school so what I can do vs a college level is different, but I would that that regardless, they may be able to help you out in the interim. As far as explaining the root situation, unless necessary, I don't think it is any of their business.

Hope this helps!

Hello. Before I received my high school accommodations, I just told teachers I had social anxiety and they would let me present by myself instead of in front of the class. It helped a lot. Also, I would have done terribly on the presentation if the teacher didn't know I had social anxiety because she made each grade thing 10% higher because I was super anxious (from a 60s level to 70s). I never expect high in presentation settings anyways. I hope this helps .

I just don't know how to approach them. I don't know if I should email them, or go to their office, which will be hard because I'm either in class or working when they have office hours.
