Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between accommodations and modifications?
Accommodations change HOW a student learns without changing WHAT they learn (e.g., extended time, preferential seating). Modifications change WHAT the student is expected to learn (e.g., reduced workload, simplified content).
What is a 504 Plan?
A 504 Plan provides accommodations for students with disabilities who don't qualify for special education services under IDEA but need support to access education. It's based on Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
How do I choose the right accommodations?
Choose accommodations that directly address the student's specific challenges and are practical to implement. Consider the student's input, classroom context, and what has worked in the past. Start with a few key accommodations rather than overwhelming lists.
Can general education teachers use these accommodations?
Yes! Many accommodations are good teaching practices that benefit all students. General education teachers can use these strategies to support diverse learners in their classrooms, even without formal IEP or 504 documentation.
