Accommodations provide access to the same curriculum as grade-level peers, but information is presented in a different way.

• A. Modifications
• B. Accommodations
• C. Universal Design for Learning
• D. Remediation

Answer: (B)

Accommodations are adjustments to how information is presented or how a student shows what they know, while the curriculum and learning expectations stay the same as for grade-level peers. By giving options like extra time, audio versions of texts, sign language or a reader, large-print materials, or assistive technology, the teacher helps the student access the same content without altering what they need to learn. This is different from modifications, which change what is taught or the level of difficulty—the goals themselves are adjusted. Universal Design for Learning is a broader framework that encourages designing lessons with multiple ways to represent, engage, and express learning for all students; accommodations can be one part of implementing UDL. Remediation focuses on helping a student develop specific skills to meet grade-level standards and may involve targeted practice or reteaching, but it does not inherently change how the curriculum is presented to provide access.
