The terms accommodation and modification, while vastly different, are often used interchangeably. In fact, they are not interchangeable. Accommodations change how the student is learning or responding, while modifications change what the student is learning. Let\u2019s look at an example of each.\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Accommodations — A student who struggles with fine motor skills, even into middle school, may type his response to a question instead of handwriting it. There is no difference in the learning target, just an accommodation for his struggle. Accommodations are often given to students without documented disabilities — consider a student who breaks her dominant arm and has to wear a cast. This student may be allowed to type or provided with a scribe, even though no formal IEP or Section 504 plan exists. A student who is having a tough day may be given an extension on an assignment deadline. A student who struggles with anxiety may be allowed to record himself giving a presentation and show that in class as opposed to presenting live. Accommodations do not change the learning target, but rather accommodate students\u2019 needs.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Modifications — A student with identified exceptionalities may require modifications to the general education curriculum in order to gain educational benefit. These modifications are major changes to what is being taught\/learned, and thus require the direction of the IEP team. These are not decisions made by individual teachers. Consider a student who has a learning disability in reading. He is overwhelmed by long reading passages because he cannot read on grade level. The class objective is to learn about the main idea and supporting details. A modification may be made for this student requiring him to read a story on his reading level and only identify the main idea. This is a modification because the rest of the class must identify the main idea and supporting details.The terms accommodation and modification, while vastly different, are often used interchangeably. In fact, they are not interchangeable. Accommodations change how the student is learning or responding, while modifications change what the student is learning.

To reiterate:\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Accommodations\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Accommodations \u2013 Change in materials or procedures that enable a student to meaningfully access instruction and assessments. Assessment accommodations do not change the construct that is being measured\n<\/div>\n
An accommodation is a change that helps a student overcome or work around the disability and Do Not reduce learning expectations.\n<\/div>\n
Allowing a student to respond orally is an example of an accommodation.\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Modifications\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Modification \u2013 Change in materials or procedures that enable a student to access instruction and assessment. Assessment modifications change the construct that is being measured.\n<\/div>\n
Making an assignment easier so the student is not doing the same level of work as other students is an example of a modification.\n<\/div>\n
