This includes accommodations or modifications to the general and special education programs, supplemental aids (including assistive technology) and/or supports from school personnel to meet the needs of the student. Adaptations do not change the rigor or expectations to the curriculum at the students grade. Adaptations include changes like: additional time to complete assignments or tests oral test oral reports preferred seating changes in presentation of lessons such as oral and printed directions tests read Modifications do change the rigor or expectations and should be made when the expectations are beyond the students level of ability. Modifications may be minimal or very complex depending on the student performance. Examples of modifications include: individualize expectations or materials for an activity assigning different tasks or expectations for assignments grading (modifications, pass/fail, open book tests) alternative assignments modified tests modifications to the discipline policy open book test In addition to accommodations or modifications to the general education curriculum, a student might require the use of special instructional strategies or techniques that are designed to meet the students learning style or developmental level. Examples of strategies include: visual cues alphabet strip number line name stamp visual schedule duration map A final form of adaptation would be the use of supplemental aids, services or adaptive equipment: adapted keyboard specialized software amplification system adaptive feeding equipment standers or other supportive equipment locker punch lock books on tape copy of teachers notes accessible bathroom pencil grips Orton-Gillingham trained staff administration of medication supervision from staff with walkie-talkie for quick access to nursing assistance staff trained in CPI techniques State and District Wide Assessments An important and special form of adaptations are accommodations or modifications to State and District-wide assessments. Accommodations: Since accommodations do not change the expectations or rigor of the task they do maintain the validity of the testing. Typically accommodations fall within the following categories: Presentation which include having directions read, large print test booklets or brailled tests Response accommodations include writing in the answer book or dictating answers Setting which would include small group or individual testing Timing which includes breaks in testing, expanded time Modifications: Modifications to State and District Wide Assessments do change the rigor. The modification to the statewide assessment is the Minnesota Test of Academic Skills or the MTAS. Modifications of districtwide tests could include administering only a portion of the assessment. Exemptions: Exemptions are not allowable in State Assessments. IEP teams may determine, however to exempt a student from district wide assessments. When determining if a student requires adaptations to State or District-wide assessments it is important to consider what types of adaptations the student requires in his day-to-day learning environment. It is not appropriate to provide adaptations that are not typical for the student or not required for the student to be successful. Common Mistakes listing adaptations that have nothing to do with the students disability (for example- it would be inappropriate to list an accommodation to have tests read when the student does not have an identified with a reading disability) listing adaptations that MAY happen rather than adaptations the student MUST have to be successful identifying the need for paraeducator assistance without identifying the paras responsibilities- if para responsibilities are related to third party billing make sure you specifically identify the responsibilities. If the para responsibilities are not related to third party billing or are more general, you could list these in the extended description section on the service page. It is not appropriate to use a laundry list of accommodations or modifications. It is also not appropriate to use the terms the student may or the student might. What does the NEEDS to benefit from the general education curriculum? If the student does not require the accommodations or modifications all the time, identify the conditions under which he will require accommodations or modifications. For example, a student who does not have a reading disability but does have a math disability would probably not require an accommodation of having tests read. However, if the IEP documents that the student becomes highly anxious when being tested in new math concepts or during high stakes testing, it would be appropriate to identify the following as an accommodation. Student will be tested in a small group setting with tests read when being tested on new math concepts or during high-stakes test. Updated August 2011 YZsu b    !
