Accommodations and Modifications

Accommodations and modifications are tools used in education to support students with diverse needs. Accommodations are adjustments that help students access the same curriculum, like extended time on tests or quiet environments, without changing what they learn. Modifications, on the other hand, involve changing the curriculum itself, such as reducing the number of assignments or lowering the difficulty level, to meet the student's individual needs. Both strategies aim to promote fair learning opportunities and help students succeed academically.
