They don't change what your child learns. They change the way your child learns. This is a way to ensure that your child's learning and attention issues don't stop them from showing what they know. (By the Understanding team, 05/27/2014). Accommodations must correspond to the student's individual deficits. For example, accommodations may include changes to the time a child has to complete a task, or permission to take breaks, such as allowing extra time for testing for a child or a change in the environment in which a child child works. For example, a child may take a test in a separate room with fewer distractions, or in a smaller group. Accommodations are provided to level the playing field and give the child a chance to succeed in general education. Additionally, a student requires assistive technology as an essential part of the accommodation. Assistive technology facilitates student learning and facilitates learning. Assistive technologies can range from computer programs that read literature to the child like Kurzweil, to simple tools like spell check. The student can have their unique needs met and they will have more independence in their learning.
