> I don't need accomodations at work, personally. However, I am a big advocate for making sure
Yeah, this post reminded me of the adage about programming for accessibility: the need for assistance doesn't even need to be permanent; we're all "disabled", or going to be, at some point, and in different ways and degrees.
Having a culture of normality around people adjusting their environment as needed benefits everyone. (Including the business, in the end!)
I interviewed at a very large company and it was very nice when the recruiter asked me directly if I need accomodations for the interview. That's the good thing about large companies, they tend to put much more thought into that sort of thing.
Sounds to me this woman would benefit from one of those walkers with a built in seat. They have built in storage which would accomodate a laptop and there would always be a seat.
