I'd encourage the OP to phone the Equality and Human Rights Commission's helpline.

It's an official body set up to gee up compliance with the Equality Act. It's a shockingly complex piece of legislation but the commission is pretty good at steering people through it.
It did some darned good work in the Julie Wyper case in Scotland, getting a local authority to fund a care assistant for a T1 pupil.
It's astonishing that this is even being discussed - T1s are licensed to drive cars at 70 mph on motorways (80 to 90 is more fun, but don't tell anyone..) and we've even got a T1 commercial jet pilot posting here from time to time, so what the heck is wrong with a T1 driving a fork-lift?
