You could recruit someone (or a couple of people) already within the dept
e.g. part-time postgrad research students, part-time technician who
could earn some extra money, etc., or specify this requirement when
advertising in the Students' Union jobs/recruitment services.
Disability awareness training should be provided - some institutions run
these for all their 'support workers' from time to time.
