"When providing assistance to passengers with disabilities who are navigating the airport, airlines are required to assist passengers in carrying their gate-checked or carry-on luggage when passengers are unable to carry the luggage due to their disability."
"Advise airline personnel at the boarding gate of any assistance you may need (e.g. pre-board, assistance with carry-on luggage or moving within the aircraft)"
"Advise the flight attendants if you need assistance stowing/retrieving your carry-on luggage or other assistance during the flight."

Doesn't say FAs are required to help with baggage themselves, but you can advise them to seek assistance.
