Hi I’d like to put the question out there to anyone with experience please… What are considered reasonable adjustments in the workplace, how long do you struggle on for before you hit the deck and unable to take it any longer? Is raising a grievance and disability discrimination worth the additional stress?
Thankyou 
Hi @AnaElsa
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns. It’s important to know that some individuals with Parkinson’s may face challenges in the workplace. Fortunately, the law requires employers to make reasonable adjustments to help employees overcome these challenges and continue working effectively. These adjustments can vary greatly depending on the individual’s specific needs, but some common examples include modifying the work environment, adjusting work roles, providing flexibility in working hours, offering training, or even adapting equipment such as computer systems, phones, or chairs.
However, what constitutes a reasonable adjustment is highly individual and depends on the specific circumstances. It’s crucial that your working arrangements are tailored to your unique needs. If you believe you require specific adjustments, it’s a good idea to have an open and honest conversation with your employer about your needs and concerns.
