Description
The purpose of this workshop is to help parents and families learn how accommodations meet the varied learning needs of students with disabilities. Accommodations are changes that can be made to the way students are expected to learn and demonstrate what they have learned. When appropriate accommodations are made, expectations for what students will learn do not have to change. In most cases, students with disabilities can achieve the same outcomes as other students in the class. We will be discussing the 4 areas of accommodations as well as examples of each.
Training Objectives
- Define Accommodations and Modifications
- Identify types of Accommodations
- Determine who is eligible for Accommodations
Target Audience
Parents and caregivers
