Accommodations refer to the teaching strategies, supports and/or services that are required in order for the student to access the curriculum and demonstrate learning.

¨       giving students extra time to complete classroom assignments, and tests/exams

¨       providing students with various learning tools, such as calculators or adaptive computers to help them complete tasks

¨       providing scribes for students who need assistance in writing

¨       providing preferential seating for a student

¨       accessing an alternative work place to complete assignments or to write tests/exams
