Navigating the IEP Process: Accommodations
In this episode, the first in my IEP Basic Series, we’ll look at accommodations (and modifications) on an IEP.
This is the first in the series due to the critical nature of accommodations to learning for students with disabilities, and also the complex nature of actually having them work in a classroom.
There are many times a student would have little chance to survive in a general education setting, much less succeed without effective accommodations.
Accommodations provide the scaffolding and the safety net for students with disabilities to experience the benefits of an included education.
