Accommodations and modifications

An accommodation changes how a student learns or shows learning; a modification changes what the student is expected to learn. Mixing the two up on an IEP causes problems with grades, testing and diplomas.

These guides cover choosing accommodations that match a documented need, writing them so every teacher knows when and how to give them, checking that they are used, and deciding whether they help. They include lists by need and by subject, testing accommodations, and when a modification is the right call.
