How to arrange for disability accommodations when submitting a book proposal?

[Tekla Babyak]

I’m a disabled independent scholar (PhD, Musicology, Cornell University, 2014) who has multiple sclerosis. I’ve already published a number of articles and chapters, and now I’m working on expanding my musicological research into a book project. I’m hoping to find an academic press that is willing to honor the disability accommodations that I need. My accommodation needs are for the editor and the peer reviewers to be very kind and supportive when giving me feedback, as I have an MS-related anxiety disorder. Ideally, I would want to communicate with the editor about these access needs before I actually submit my book proposal. Does anyone know of certain presses that seem particularly committed to meeting the access needs of potential authors? I would be very grateful for any suggestions, either as a public reply or privately through email. My email address is tbb8@cornell.edu.
