There are also apps and software available that will read the text to you at the pace you are comfortable with, it is associated with "accessibility".

I work at a University and there are lots of programs available for people with limitations… you should contact your HR Dept. to see what might be available to assist you. Ask specifically about a Disability Dept. - they typically assist students but I think they are also there to help staff and faculty.

One of the professors I work with has MS and the Disability Dept on campus pays for him to have a student assistant with him 100% of the time that he is on campus to open doors for him and carry things for him and that kind of thing.

Maybe you could have a student assistant help read things to you and keep organized?

It's difficult to go back to work and scary. I couldn't work for over a year after the MVA I was in because of the concussion I sustained.

I didn't think I could return because I couldn't function the way I did before the accident. I was surprised at the work arounds I figured out AFTER I went back to work that I didn't even think of before I went back to work. And people were surprisingly supportive and helpful towards me during my recovery and still are.

Maybe you could have a meeting with HR, your union rep, your Dr. and the Chair of your Dept. and maybe the Dean to arrange a schedule that won't cause setbacks for you?
