What is the primary difference between accommodations and modifications in instructional design?
What is the primary difference between accommodations and modifications in instructional design?
Accommodations allow students with disabilities to access the same curriculum as their peers without altering the instructional goals or standards, while modifications alter the instructional goals or standards to meet the individual needs of students with disabilities.
How does Universal Design for Learning (UDL) increase accessibility and engagement for all students?
How does Universal Design for Learning (UDL) increase accessibility and engagement for all students?
UDL increases accessibility and engagement by providing multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement, making the learning environment more inclusive and adaptable to diverse learners.

Study Notes
Accommodations and Modifications
-
Accommodations: Changes that allow students with disabilities to access the same curriculum as their peers, without altering the instructional goals or standards.
- Examples:
- Providing extra time to complete assignments
- Using assistive technology, such as text-to-speech software
- Offering one-on-one instruction
- Examples:
-
Modifications: Changes that alter the instructional goals or standards to meet the individual needs of students with disabilities.
- Examples:
- Assigning alternative assignments or projects
- Lowering the grade level of the curriculum
- Providing a simplified version of the curriculum
- Examples:
Inclusion Strategies
Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
-
Principles:
- Multiple means of representation (e.g., visual, auditory, kinesthetic)
- Multiple means of expression (e.g., writing, drawing, speaking)
- Multiple means of engagement (e.g., choice, autonomy, feedback)
- Benefits: Increases accessibility and engagement for all students, not just those with disabilities.
Co-Teaching Models
- One Teach, One Assist: One teacher delivers instruction while the other provides support.
- One Teach, One Observe: One teacher delivers instruction while the other observes and takes notes.
- Alternative Teaching: Teachers alternate delivering instruction to the whole class or small groups.
- Station Teaching: Teachers divide the class into small groups and rotate to provide specialized instruction.
Differentiated Instruction
- Tiered Assignments: Assignments tailored to individual students' needs and abilities.
- Learning Centers: Stations set up to provide hands-on learning experiences.
- Flexible Grouping: Students grouped based on specific skills or needs.
Other Inclusion Strategies
- Inclusive Language: Using language that values diversity and promotes inclusion.
- Visual Schedules: Using visual aids to support students with autism or other disabilities.
- Positive Behavioral Supports: Strategies to promote positive behaviors and prevent problem behaviors.
