There are many sources of adjustments for disability we will list a few that you may find helpful
General advice
Ask Jan
This site from Job Accommodation Network (JAN) this US site is a leading source of free, expert, and confidential guidance on workplace accommodations and disability employment issues.
You can search by disability difficulty or accommodation(adjustment) and more.The advice is on the US Americans with Disabilities Act while in many ways similar to the UK Equality Act there are also lots of differences
However the adjustments it recommends for each disability or need are appropriate worldwide.
Go to https://askjan.org/
The Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service(ACAS)
offer good general advice on the duty employers have to make adjustments but offer little advice on adjustments suitable for each individual
