i,
My visually impaired daughter works at a local hospital here in my
city. She can do her job more efficiently and faster with Windows
Magnifier on a computer rather than using a handheld magnifier to
read the screen. My sighted husband who worked in It for a number of
years said she should be given permission after logging in on a
computer with her credentials to bring up Windows Magnifier.
She can read paperwork faster if she could enlarge the print paperwork
via a copier. He says she should be allowed to use a copier to do so
before she starts her shift.
Is it legal for her boss to request she have a letter from her eye
doctor stating she needs these accommodations to do her job??
