Accommodations:
Instructional and Testing Supports for Students with Disabilities
Barriers to learning
How information is presented (e.g., as text, in a lecture)
The manner in which students are asked to respond (e.g., in writing, through speech)
The characteristics of the setting (e.g., the levels of noise and lighting)
The timing and scheduling of instruction (e.g., the time of day, the length of a given assignment)
Accommodations: adaptations or changes to educational environments and practices designed to help students overcome the challenges presented by their disabilities.
Do NOT change what students learn but HOW the access learning
Do not change the expectations for learning
Do not reduce the requirements of the task
Do not change what the student is required to learn
Modifications are adaptations that change what students learn and are used with students who require more support or adjustments than accommodations can provide.
Accommodations level the playing field
Instructional accommodations are changes to the delivery of classroom instruction.
they do not alter the scope or range of the grade-level academic content standards, nor do they change the complexity of the knowledge students are expected to learn. Students with disabilities who use instructional accommodations are required to learn the same content at the same level of proficiency as their peers who do not use instructional accommodations.
Modifications Do change the expectations for learning and reduce the requirements for the task
Testing Accommodations are changes to the format of a test.
They change how students are tested but not what a test measures.
