What is the difference between accommodations
and adaptations ?
4
Accommodations
  • Accommodations are used to refer to changes that
    are stipulated in an individual students IEP in
    order to enable the student to gain access to the
    classroom or the curriculum.
  • Examples
  • allowing extra time on a test
  • providing the student with a quiet area
  •  allowing the student to sit close to the board

Adaptations
  • Adaptations are changes to the requirements of
    the learning task, often temporary or reduced
    over time.
  • Examples
  • Curricular- what is taught
  • Instructional- how it is taught or assessed
  • Ecological- where, when or with whom it is taught

Curriculum Adaptations
  • 1. As is - Students are involved in the same
    lesson as other students with the same objectives
    and using the same materials.
  • 2. Providing physical assistance - assisting a
    student to complete activities by the actual
    manipulation of materials , equipment or his/her
    body.
  • 3. Adapting materials - Utilizing materials that
    allow for participation in age-appropriate
    activities without having pre-requisite basic
    motor, communicative or cognitive skills.

Curriculum Adaptations
  • 4. Multi-Level Curriculum - Students are working
    in the same subject area, but are working at
    different levels of curriculum.
  • 5. Curriculum Overlapping - Students are involved
    in the same activity with other students but may
    have a goal from a different curriculum area.
  • 6. Substitute Curriculum - Students are involved
    in alternative activities that meet primary
    instructional needs when the general education
    curriculum at that time does not. This is
    determined by the student planning team. Priority
    is given to involvement with peers at alternative
    activities.

    Kronberg, R., Kelly, D., Curriculum Adaptation
    for Inclusive Classrooms, California Research
    Institute, San Francisco State University, San
    Francisco, CA. (1992).

Partial Participation
  • This principle suggests that individuals who have
    disabilities should not be deprived of
    opportunities to participate in typical school
    and community activities. A student may not be
    able to do every part of an activity but that
    does not mean some level of participation would
    not be meaningful to that student.
