Selecting Accommodations

Considering every child is different, it is important to look at the whole child in addition to the disability, and educational barriers to determine what accommodations may be helpful.

​See how well you can serve our students in the following slides ...

Audrey

Audrey is a ninth-grade student who qualifies for special education services due to Other Health Impairment. When reading, Audrey appears agitated, her eyes water, moves her head and loses her place. What are some accommodations that may help Audrey?

Multiple Select

What are some accommodations that may help Audrey?

• Large Print Reading Passages

• Text to Speech

• Line/Place Marker

• Colored Overlays

How did you do?

Audrey may benefit from all of these accommodations.

It would be important to implement each of them seperately to accurately determine if one support helps more than another.

Let's try one more!

Daniel

Daniel qualifies for special education due to an emotional disturbance. He is assigned to sit in a collaborative group; however, he is often quiet and non-participatory. He asks to go to the restroom at least twice a class and takes a while when he leaves. What may be a effective accommodation to get more participation from Daniel?

Multiple Select

What are some accommodations that may help Daniel?

• Preferential Seating

• Frequent Breaks

• One-on-one checkins

• Reward System

How did you do?

Daniel may benefit from all of these accommodations.

Daniel may not be comfortable being around others and may prefer to work on his own. Low stake trials with quiet independent work or mixing up the seating chart could give more insite to what may work for Daniel.

Good effort, now let's move onto modifications ...
