An employer is required to make a REASONABLE accommodation for a person with a disability. Lawyers will spend days arguing over the term "reasonable".
While the ADA made great strides for the handicapped in public schools and public services it is somewhat limited in what it can do in the "private" work place.
First to be covered is she disabled? According to the brief description given she is not, she has issues (that are getting worse) but she does not have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities. Most employers can duck the law by using the definition of disabled to exclude their employee. Do they have 15 or more employees - ADA does not apply if they dont.
Then there is the "reasonable" accommodation -what is reasonable? Hiring another employee to check her work isn't reasonable. If she needed extra breaks to rest that could be reasonable or a piece of equipment that would aid her in her job it might be reasonable depending on cost.
Bottom line, she needs legal advice, not off topic advice in a tractor forum.
