I have final exams coming up and I’m getting pushback for an accommodation request. I am preparing myself to fight them on this if I need to, but am looking for help in having evidence ready if it’s needed.

I am trying to ask for an accommodation that would allow me to take my exams in the afternoon. I am worried they are going to claim that it is not a reasonable accommodation because with small class sizes, people will be texting about the exam afterwards and I could see information I shouldn’t have before I take it. I am looking for any websites, parts of the ADA, or anything like that which would help show that changing the time of an exam must be considered a reasonable accommodation.

I am all set in terms of proving my need and my disability, I just need information that shows they cannot claim it as an “unreasonable” accommodation legally. Any resources would be appreciated :)
I also am just having a rough time of dealing with people who don’t understand DSPD this week and am hoping hearing from other people who get it entirely will be helpful

Edit:
Like a silly internet american who forgets the rest of the world exists, I forgot to explicitly mention I’m in the U.S.
