A reasonable accommodation is any change in the workplace or in the way things are customarily done that provides an equal employment opportunity to an individual with a disability. An employer must privide such an accomadation unless doing so would constitue an undue burden of them. Without more details of your sisutation it's hard to asay more.

Assuming your requested accommodation is reasonable (necessary for you do your job; not too expensive or disruptive for the employer), then to not grant it is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA. You could contact the EEOC to file a complaint.
