Are there certain things that are not considered reasonable accommodations and are therefore not required?
• An employer does not have to provide personal use items, such as a prosthetic limb, a wheelchair, eyeglasses, hearing aids, or similar devices. • Exceptions would be for employers to provide items that are customarily personal use items where the items are specifically designed or required to meet job-related needs. o An employer may have to provide an individual with a disabling visual impairment with eyeglasses specifically designed to enable the individual to use the office computer monitors, but that are not otherwise needed by the individual outside of the office.
