While the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires that priority consideration be given to the specific methods requested by the students, it does not imply that a particular accommodation must be granted if it is deemed not reasonable and if other suitable techniques are available.

When recommendations go beyond services and benefits that can be provided by the University, they may be used to suggest potential referrals to area service providers beyond Adelphi.
