The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act states that a child’s IEP (Individualized Education Program) team — which both parent and child are a part of — must decide which accommodations are appropriate for him or her. Any appropriate accommodations should be written into a student’s IEP."]]> 2023-01-29 20:55:43 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaasevu/4lkisb5s23qoxofl/wish/2460560674 Presentation Accommodations dhaasevu https://padlet.com/dhaasevu/4lkisb5s23qoxofl/wish/2460562714
Accommodations for Students with Learning Disabilities - Child-Testing

Presentation, Response, Setting, and Timing/Scheduling are the four basic types of accommodations used during instruction and assessment.

1- Presentation accommodations allow students to access instructional materials in ways that do not require them to read standard print presented in a standard visual format:
         Instruction

  • Verbal instructions
  • Repetition of instructions
  • Text/Instructions in audio-format
  • Larger print
  • Fewer Items per page
  • Visual prompts or cues (e.g., arrow pointing on page)
  • Highlighted text
  • Alternative answer sheet
  • Information in songs or poems (e.g., facts, definitions)
          Assessment

  • Calculator
  • Speech-to-Text software
  • Text-to-Speech software
  • Electronic dictionary
  • Spelling checker
  • Grammar check.

School assignments and tests completed with accommodations should be graded the same way as those completed without accommodations. After all, accommodations are meant to "level the playing field," provide equal and ready access to the task at hand, and not meant to provide an undue advantage to the user.]]> 2023-01-29 21:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaasevu/4lkisb5s23qoxofl/wish/2460564463 Accommodations vs. Modifications dhaasevu https://padlet.com/dhaasevu/4lkisb5s23qoxofl/wish/2460566640 Using Accommodations and Modifications in the Classroom: A Teacher’s Guide | Understood

Accommodations and modifications are not the same thing. An accommodation changes how students access and learn the same material as their peers — without lowering the academic expectations. A modification changes what students are taught or expected to learn.

Described below are some of the functional limitations that may require accommodations. A student with a learning disability may have one or more of these limitations.

Auditory perception and processing
  • —the student may have difficulty processing information communicated through lectures or class discussions. They may have difficulty distinguishing subtle differences in sound or knowing which sounds to attend to.
Visual perception and processing
  • —the student may have difficulty distinguishing subtle differences in shape (e.g., the letters b and d), deciding what images to focus on when multiple images are present, skip words or repeat sections when reading, or misjudge depth or distance. They may have difficulty processing information communicated via overhead projection, through video, in graphs and charts, by email, or within web-based distance learning courses.
Information processing speed
  • —the student may process auditory and visual information more slowly than the average person. They may be a slow reader because of the need for additional time to decode and comprehend written material.
Abstract reasoning
  • —the student may have difficulty understanding the context of subjects such as philosophy and logic, which require high level reasoning skills.
Memory (long-term, short-term)
  • —the student may have difficulty with the storing or recalling of information during short or long time periods.
Spoken and written language
  • —the student may have difficulty with spelling (e.g., mixing up letters) or with speaking (e.g., reversing words or phrases).
Mathematical calculation
  • —the student may have difficulty manipulating numbers, may sometimes invert numbers, and may have difficulty converting problems described in words to mathematical expressions.
Executive functioning (planning and time management)
  • —the student may have difficulty breaking larger projects into smaller sub-projects, creating and following a timeline, and meeting deadlines.

2- Response accommodations allow students alternatives for completion of activities, assignments, and tests. Students may be permitted to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in alternate ways, or to solve or organize their work using an electronic device or organizer.

  • Mark answers in test book instead of on separate answer sheet
  • Dictate to scribe or record oral responses on audio-recorder.
  • Record oral responses on Livescribe pen.
  • Point to response choices.
  • Type (keyboard) response.

3– Setting accommodations change the location in which a test or assignment is given or the conditions of the assessment setting.

  • Individual or small group
  • Reduce visual and/or auditory distractions (e.g., separate desk or location within classroom—“private office”)
  • Distraction-free setting (separate room)
  • Alternative furniture arrangement

4- Timing/Scheduling accommodations change the length of time allowed for completion of a test, project, or assignment and may also change the way the time is organized (e.g., breaks):

  • Flexible scheduling (e.g., several sessions vs one)
  • Extended time
  • Allowing for more frequent breaks (as appropriate)
  • Changing order of tasks or subtests

In addition to the types of accommodations and examples listed, devices and strategies that help students to organize their time and their work can sometimes be helpful. Some examples are listed:

Organizers

  • Timers to keep track of time.
  • Highlighters to mark text
  • Planners for tracking assignments
  • Graph paper to organize math problems on paper.
  • Color Coding (e.g., subject areas, categorization within notes).
Study Strategies

  • Visualization
  • Retelling as soon as possible after a lecture
  • Putting new learning into own words as soon as possible after class—talking about learning
  • Organizing a study group for discussion (practice)

What Are “Reasonable Accommodations”?
Section 504 requires schools to make “reasonable accommodations” to help people with disabilities perform effectively. Under Section 504, schools may not ban or refuse to allow a student to participate in activities without making any reasonable effort to accommodate the student.

Examples of reasonable 504 accommodations may include:


  • Allowing a student in a wheelchair to leave the classroom a few minutes early to account for longer passing time       
  • Providing a student who is visually impaired books with larger print to keep up with schoolwork
  • Allowing a person with ADD or other learning disabilities extra time for test taking
  • Providing a student with low-distraction work areas
  • Preparing a student for upcoming changes in routine
  • Allowing a student with hyperactivity to keep a small object in their desk to manipulate quietly
It's important to note that it is the teacher’s responsibility to quietly and discreetly provide a student’s accommodation without drawing undue attention to the student.

- Change the setting. Give instructions or tests in a separate room, in a carrel, or in a small group. 
- Change the scheduling. Extend the time and the breaks for testing and instruction. 
- Change the type of presentation. Use large print; give verbal directions instead of written directions or tape-record the directions.
- Change the expectations for response. Have students answer questions orally or point to the answer; students can mark in a booklet instead of on an answer sheet. ]]> 2023-01-29 21:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/dhaasevu/4lkisb5s23qoxofl/wish/2460589219 Modifications vs Accommodations: Difference and Examples dhaasevu https://padlet.com/dhaasevu/4lkisb5s23qoxofl/wish/2460590450 https://youtu.be/X6rT2_fn4u0
