You can start by advocating for your disabled colleague and bringing it to the attention of their supervisor or manager. The appropriate personnel should ensure that the necessary equipment is provided as quickly as possible, taking into account applicable local, state or federal laws on disability rights. Additionally, you could help your colleague in looking for available resources such as grants or donations and see if any organizations or individuals can support them. Lastly, you could check with local organizations who provide adaptive instruments to persons with disabilities - sometimes they may have loan programs so that people can access needed devices.

The best way to ensure your disabled colleague gets the necessary equipment is to raise the issue with your manager or HR, as appropriate. Suggest possible solutions or potential sources of funding that could assist in providing the necessary equipment. Keep records of conversations regarding the accessibility needs and document any steps taken towards getting the colleague their required equipment.
