Accommodations/Modifications

  • The accommodations/modifications are reviewed every year.
  • Every year the team will determine if the accommodations are working; obtain feedback from the teachers to make sure that they are appropriate for the student.
  • Modifications alter the curriculum or testing environment – as a team everyone needs to understand this and make sure we are in agreement before making modifications.
