- - - - :check: Accommodations and Supports
        
        Accommodations and supports are designed to minimize obstacles to learning or participating in the educational environment. The accommodations and supports your child receives will depend on your child’s needs and the goals set in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan.
        
        Many of the accommodations listed are referred to as “Assistive Technology".
        
        Assistive Technology: is any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether modified or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. Assistive Technology can be low-tech, including laminated picture schedules, or high-tech, such as the use of an iPad® to create Social Stories™ or otherwise help a child transition between activities.

- - - - Screen readers- A program that analysed the layout and content of a website and provides a text to speech translation.
      - Braille displays - A device that translates digital text into braille dots that can be read with the fingers.
      - Dictation- Speech recognition software allows a user to navigate, type and interact with websites using their voice.
    - - Alerting devices- converts and audio alert (e.g., doorbell, alarm clock) into a visual or physical alert that the person can perceive.
      - Telecommunications- examples are amplified telephones, TTY/TDD, Text to 911 and video chat.
      - Enhanced listening- used to connect an audio feed directly to someones's hearing aid or cochlear implant.
      - Visual communications- captions and transcripts (with the ability to enlarge or zoom in) provide audio information in visual format.
  - - - Allow students to audio-record lectures.
      - Allow for preferential seating, either to facilitate better listening or to allow for proximity to an electrical outlet
      - Identify note-takers
      - Arrange to meet with the student to discuss specific learning needs, strategies for success, alternatives to course assignments and methods of evaluation when the student provides her or her letter of accommodation.
    - - include graphic content such as charts, maps and illustrations.
      - when appropriate offer alternatives to more traditional assignments and exams such as oral presentations, instead of a written assignment or exam
      - provide extended time for tests and exams, note that students may have access to an interpreter during tests and exams to interpret questions
      - note that students may use an interpreter for oral assignments and presentations.
