Employers are required to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that as far as is practically possible, disabled people enjoy the same freedoms and possibilities as non-disabled people. The disabled employee does not have to pay or contribute to this.
CS is not an employer (as far as tournament players are concerned). However it does not strike me as unreasonable for CS to buy a clock that has the features needed to accommodate an individual player's needs, whether they be current or future players. Particularly if more tournaments follow Davie's lead and adopt the use of increments. A budget has already been identified as having a surplus.
My experiences within CS of assistance provided to disabled players has been hugely positive, with many individuals pitching in to enable me to play. Sometimes you have to show a certain level of sensitivity and get on with it, and that has been my experience to date.
