Can the employer require an employee to bring a personally owned assistive device, such as an augmentative communication system or laptop computer, to work?
• No. However the employee may wish to use his/her own equipment since s/he may be most familiar or comfortable with it. • It may also be a reasonable accommodation to permit an individual with a disability the opportunity to provide and utilize equipment, aids or services that employers are not required to provide as reasonable accommodations.
