Employees who experience limitations in concentration may need a flexible schedule in order to work optimally during hours of increased attentiveness. Flexible schedules can also be used to have a period of mental rest in order to refocus and reorient into his/her work. Examples of a flexible schedule would be adjusting starting and ending times of the workday, combining regularly scheduled breaks to create one extended break or dividing large breaks into smaller segments, and allowing work to be completed during hours when the employee is most mentally alert.

Low task or mechanics chairs are small stools on wheels. Some options are height adjustment and tool trays under the seat. May also be purchased at a local auto parts store.

A personal transportation or mobility product differs from a wheelchair, scooter, or walker in that a person can sit or stand and use forward or backward movements to propel the device. These products can be an alternative to a traditional mobility device.

Scooters can be used by people with mobility impairments who do not need a wheelchair but who have difficulty walking for various reasons, such as fatigue or muscle weakness. Scooters come with a variety of options, such as baskets, armrests, plain or plush seats, and all-terrain capability.

Telework, within certain fields, can be an excellent alternative for employees who have conditions that make it difficult for them to leave their home or reliably travel to a place of work. Employers should consider if a job can be made compatible with telework for their employees and communicate their expectations and requirement for the job to be performed out of home. Allowing work from home during worksite or office construction; extremely hot, cold, or inclement weather; or parking renovations could be a reasonable accommodation.

People with various limitations may have driving restrictions and need transportation assistance. Such assistance could include pairing the employee with a co-worker who can drive to meetings or events, transferring the employee to a position that does not require driving, adjusting the schedule so the employee can access public transportation, or helping to  facilitate a carpool with co-workers for transportation to/from work.  Some situations may be specific to the disability involved. For example, someone with epilepsy may need look at specific information about a state's regulations involving driving with epilepsy.
