Accommodations vs Modifications - Meeting after meeting, parents and teachers use the words “accommodation” and “modification” almost interchangeably when discussing IEPs and student needs. If understood and used correctly, these words can greatly impact the success of a child’s educational program. Get answers to these questions and more:

• How can accommodations and modifications help my child in the general education classroom?
• How are accommodations and modifications included in IEP?
• Which accommodations are provided for state testing?
