Dear Giuliana
I suggest that you contact your Access to work Coordinator via the local
Job Centre and ask them if they could arrange for Ability Net to visit.
They will be able to advise on alternative technology to assist this person
at work.
If you don't have any joy with this places contact me.
Regards,
Clare
