Dear List
Please may I have your esteemed advice in relation to equipment to assist a lecturer with MS in terms of voice audibility? I am to see her next week and understand that her learners are struggling to hear her, so would like to be well-versed. I am not sure if Access to Work would be able to assist with this - but think it is worth investigating.
Secondly for those of you with OH experience in Colleges, unis, schools - in your experience if someone with a disability such as MS is beginning to struggle with teaching hours/duties, what adjustments, if any, have been made in terms of reduced teaching/contact hours? This takes into account that other support such as Learning Assistant is in place. I realise that what is reasonable is not for us to decide, but the tricky thing can be when the individual is in fear of losing their job through capability issues.
With major pressures on lecturers and learning institutions at present it can be a tough environment for all, far less if a condition is impacting on your functional capability. Any experience you can share would be helpful.
Many thanks.
Kind regards
Pippa Stanford
