An accommodation is any technique that alters the academic setting or environment in some way, but does not change the content of required work. A modification is any technique that alters the work required in such a way that it differs in substance from the work required of other students in the same class. Teams must assess when modifications are implemented in a plan whether or not student grading must also be adjusted. Some intervention tools might be seen as either an accommodation or a modification, depending on the situation or on the implementation.  \nThis is intended to be a staff document. The following examples are not offered as check lists and should not be considered as all-inclusive or mandatory listings. The examples are intended to serve as “starters” for 504 teams designing accommodation plans that meet a student’s specific need(s) . The best 504 plans incorporate teacher expertise and available regular education resources. The Team process involves schools in identifying the resources they (and outside agencies) have to support various student needs. Obviously, the kinds of accommodations schools can provide will vary based on school configuration , age of student , etc. The 504 evaluation team decides the accommodations that will best support a particular student. The following examples are organized into two groups. The first group includes general environmental, organizational, behavioral, presentation, and assessment strategies. The second group includes possible examples of accommodations that might be valuable when dealing with specific disability profiles.  \nExamples of General Accommodations  \n• Environmental Strategies  \n• Organizational Strategies  \n• Behavioral Strategies  \n• Presentation Strategies  \n• Evaluation Methods  \nExamples of Accommodations for Specific Disabilities  \nAllergies Arthritis  \nAsthma ADD/ADHD Bipolar Cancer Cerebral Palsy AIDS  \nCystic Fibrosis Diabetes  \nDrugs/alcohol Emotionally Disturbed Encopresis/Enuresis Epilepsy  \nHearing Impairment Learning Disability Leukemia  \nOrthopedically Impaired Student with health needs Tourette's Syndrome Traumatic Brain Injury Tuberculosis  \nVisual Impairment  \nWeight (obesity, anorexia, bulimia)  \nExamples of General Accommodations  \nGeneral program accommodations/adjustments or services are always made on a case-by-case basis and individualized. Accommodations are to be reasonable and are intended to provide persons with disabilities compensation for their functional limitation(s) due to a mental or physical impairment. Where Section 504 is concerned, accommodations are made to bring a student with a disability to the same starting point as a non-disabled student.  \nConsequently, the accommodations defined in a Section 504 plan are those interventions that are not typically available to all students.  \nEnvironmental Strategies  \n• Provide a structured learning environment  \n• Make separate \"space\" for different types of tasks  \n• Possible adapting of non-academic times such as lunch, recess, and physical education  \n• Change student seating  \n• Utilize a study carrel  \n• Alter location or personal or classroom supplies for easier access or to minimize distraction  \n• Provide sensory breaks  \n• Provide a written or picture schedule  \nOrganizational Strategies  \n• Model and reinforce organizational systems (i.e. color-coding)  \n• Write out homework assignments, check student's recording of assignments  \n• Tailor homework assignments toward student strengths  \n• Set time expectations for assignments  \n• Provide clues such as clock faces indicating beginning and ending times  \n• Teach study/organizational skills  \n• Schedule before or after school tutoring/homework assistance  \nBehavioral Strategies  \n• Use behavioral management techniques consistently within a classroom and across classes  \n• Implement behavioral/a","cbCaiahQJJ5F5KTE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiahQJJ5F5KTE","pdf",149290,"English","# Examples of General Accommodations\n## Environmental Strategies\n## Organizational Strategies\n## Behavioral Strategies\n## Presentation Strategies\n## Evaluation Methods\n# Examples of Accommodations for Specific Disabilities","[{\"question\":\"What is the difference between an accommodation and a modification under Section 504?\",\"answer\":\"An accommodation alters the academic setting or environment without changing the content of required work.
