The disabilities covered under the Access to Work scheme can include mental health conditions and learning disabilities as well as physical disabilities. Many clients we see who have Access To Work grants have conditions such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD.
The grant can help to fund any equipment not normally needed for your job that will help you with your disability (such as ergonomic equipment, standing desks etc). It also covers assistive technology software/hardware and training in how to use it. Workplace coaching is often recommended as part of your Access to Work assessment. I offer workplace coaching and assistive technology training through Access to Work.
