The pros of providing special office equipment for your disabled colleague include increased independence, enhanced productivity, reduced strain on other staff members who might be helping her with everyday tasks and reduced risk of injury or stress. The cons may include higher cost and potentially increased obstacles for other co-workers to learn how to use or access the equipment.

Pros:
1. Providing special office equipment may increase independence for the disabled employee, enabling them to better perform their role in the organization. 
2. It could help eliminate potential risk of injury, if the equipment is more suited to a disabled user than standard equipment. 
3. Special office equipment tailored to suit the disabilities of an individual can enhance productivity and morale. 
4. It can also reduce stress associated with struggling to use regular office machines and systems which can be particularly difficult for users with mobility impairments who require extra space or physical support that regular workplace designs might not offer.  
  
Cons: 
1. Special office equipment tends to be expensive and may not be cost-effective in the long-term, especially if funding is an issue or limited budget means that it must be shared between multiple colleagues with disabilities  .  https://bitioptimumcabecouvertcomanagerinfo76035on9profil417819
