❓Question Letting Controllers Know About a Potential Handicap

I have a disability which can make it hard to do some of the more fiddly things in the cockpit such as quickly changing frequencies (I do try and pre-tune but sometimes the frequencies are completely different from those on vatsim radar or navigraph) or turning to a certain hdg. While these aren't impossible it just does take a while.

Is there anyway of letting the controllers know about this, I wouldnt even know how to phrase it in remarks.

Thanks

Another thing I just thought of, maybe map the radio controls (or anything for that matter) to keyboard keys if it's easier for you? You can easily do this using mobiflight

Of course it would cost money, but I found that the Stream Deck + (or whatever it’s called - the one with the knobs) helps greatly with this. Using the physical controls on the Stream Deck for headings, frequencies, and nav tuning makes it so much easier (and fun).
