It’s not Touch Accomodations. It’s Settings > Touch > AssistiveTouch. A translucent gray virtual home button will show up.

You could turn on the Accessibility feature, Touch Acommodations in Settings app, under General settings.
When this is activated, a software Home button appears onscreen and you can assign different functions to this button under the Customise Top Level Menu setting in Touch Accomodations.
One of the software Home button function/settings is Screenshot.
You can do one touch screen shots this way.
I use the Software Home button all the time with various common functions I use everyday to save the everyday wear and tear on the actual hardware Home button of my iPads.
Hello,
You could use a Bluetooth or USB keyboard with your iPad and use the keyboard shortcut ⌘ (Command) + ⇧ (Shift) + 3.
With iPadOS 13 you could use an Apple Pencil to swipe up from the bottom left corner to take a screenshot.
Thanks zmclearan but I I have no keypad and I am not planning on buying one. I need this because I want to document some issues with a product that interfaces with the iPad. Even if I had a keyboard, it would not be practical in my situation but I certainly appreciate the VERY quick replay and idea. Now that I am writing this, I realize I could do a screen recording instead without using the HOME button and just take a frame from the produced video. Not as convenient but doable with what I have. Hmmmm.
Michel, I have turned on "Touch Accommodations" but no button shows up. Also I do not see any menu option to assign this button to "Screenshot".
Running iOS 12.4
Cheers.
That it is, thank you.
