Accommodations

Three types of accommodations are often used in an educational setting; assessment, environmental and instructional. All three of these accommodation types are especially important and benefit learners. Some learners may require accommodations in all three categories whereas others may not.

Assessment Accommodations Assessment accommodations provide strategies to accommodate for students needs with regard to student evaluation. Examples of assessment accommodations may include; extra time for tests, scribing for tests, or reduction of tasks in an assignment.

Environmental Accommodations Environmental accommodations provide strategies to accommodate for students needs in their learning environment. Examples of environmental accommodations may include; strategic seating or proximity to the instructor.

Instructional Accommodations Instructional accommodations provide strategies to accommodate for students needs with classroom instruction. Examples of instructional accommodations may include; assistive technology, prompts to return students attention to the tasks or manipulatives.
