Hello, I been working for the DoD for about 6 years and my experience with office environment might be a little different then must. Because of where i work they installed automatic doors to my room and raised the desk/work space to about 32 inches high, so i can get under it without hitting my knees. i had Professional Dragon NarutallySkeaping put on all my PCs, which makes typing a lot easier then using my mouth stick. I found they will been over backwards to accommodate my needs which has been great.
