Interventions are strategies or programs that teachers use to help students overcome academic or behavioral challenges. These are specific actions taken when a student is struggling to meet expectations.

# data[].attributes.body
Interventions are for any student, not just those with disabilities, who is not making expected progress in general education, especially in academics or behavior. This includes students with specific learning disabilities (SLD) or those who may eventually qualify for special education.

A teacher notices a student is having trouble reading, so they provide 20 minutes of daily small-group instruction focused on phonics. After several weeks, the teacher checks if the student has made progress before deciding on further support.

Differentiation is when teachers plan lessons and activities in a way that addresses the various learning needs, strengths, and interests of all students in a classroom. The goal is to maximize student growth for everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
Differentiation is used with ALL students, including those with and without disabilities. It is a foundational teaching practice in general education to meet diverse learner needs.

Accommodations are changes in how a student learns or demonstrates knowledge, without altering the learning expectations. They level the playing field by removing barriers.

# data[].attributes.body
Accommodations are primarily for students with disabilities who have IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) or 504 Plans, particularly those under IDEA disability categories such as SLD, OHI, or ASD.

A student with dyslexia is allowed to listen to an audiobook instead of reading print text, or is given extra time to complete assignments.

Adaptations refer to adjustments or changes made to the curriculum, materials, or environment to help students access learning and demonstrate knowledge. They can include both accommodations and modifications.

# data[].attributes.body
Adaptations are provided to students with disabilities eligible for special education under IDEA, including students with intellectual disabilities, autism, physical impairments, and more.

A student with low vision receives large-print textbooks and moves to the front of the class. Another example: giving a student a graphic organizer to help structure their writing.

Modifications are changes to what a student is expected to learn (instructional level or content). They alter the learning expectations to better fit the student's abilities.

# data[].attributes.body
Modifications are for students with more significant disabilities, as determined by their IEP team. These students are often in one of the IDEA categories like Intellectual Disabilities, Multiple Disabilities, or Autism.

SDI means adapting, as appropriate, the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to meet the unique needs of a student with a disability. It is the heart of special education and is documented in a student's IEP.

# data[].attributes.body
SDI is for students who qualify for special education under one of the IDEA disability categories, such as SLD, OHI, ID, ASD, etc. Only these students can receive SDI, as determined by their IEP team.
