CTE Accommodations & Modifications. This instructional module will cover: Individuals with Disabilities Defining Accommodations & Modifications The Special Education Process Types of Accommodations and Modifications.

Individuals with Disabilities. An individual with a disability means any disability as defined in Section 3 of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This means they must have one of the following: A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities, or a record of impairment, or being regarded as having impairment..

Individuals with Disabilities. The CTE teacher will have a broad variety of individuals with disabilities in their program over their career. In making sure that these individuals receive the services they need to learn on a level playing field, it is important to know how these students receive services under the various Federal laws..

Individuals with Disabilities. Qualifying Disabilities Autism Deaf-blindness Hearing Impairment (including Deafness) Emotional Disturbance Intellectual Disabilities Orthopedic Impairment Other Health Impairment Specific Learning Disability Speech or Language Impairment Traumatic Brain Injury Visual Impairment (including Blindness).

Individuals with Disabilities. The committee that meets to determine the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) is the Admission, Review and Dismissal (ARD) Committee. The meeting is typically called an ARD Committee Meeting. At this meeting, the IEP is developed to outline the student’s educational program, and to outline needed accommodations and/or modifications..

Defining Accommodations. An “Accommodation” is an adjustment or support given to learners that enables them to have access to the same educational opportunities as other learners do. The criteria remain the same, and student learners are expected to “test” or complete assessments and assignments at the same level as students without disabilities..

Defining Accommodations. Changes HOW a student learns. A change made to the teaching or testing procedures in order to provide a student with access to information and to create an equal opportunity to demonstrate knowledge and skills. Examples are: giving more time for tests reducing the pages required in a report allowing a student to use a calculator or reading allowed to a student..

Accommodations. How do you determine what the student’s present level is when trying to select accommodations? When considering curricular adaptations, determining whether they will alter or lower standards, or expectations of what is learned in either the instructional process or assessment..

Accommodations. Accommodations can be made at any time, but when they are part of the formal education plan, they are written into the IEP at the ARD Committee Meeting stage..

Accommodations Timing example: student is given extra time during tests Setting example: student is allowed to test in a room by themselves Response example: student types responses on a tablet or computer rather than writing Presentation example: student is allowed to turn in an outline of events, instead of presenting in front of the class.

Accommodations. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, a reasonable accommodation would be any change in the work environment that will enable the individual with a disability to participate in the application process, perform essential job functions, and enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment that are available to those without disabilities..

Defining Modifications. Change WHAT a student learns A change in what the student is expected to learn and/or demonstrate. While a student may be working on modified course content, the subject area remains the same as the rest of the class. Examples are: reducing the number of TEKS taught adjusting the reading level to be lower than the grade level modifying concepts.

Individuals with Disabilities. In the CTE program where a student receives modifications, they can participate with their peers, but they may not be able to earn an industry-level certificate upon completion of a given unit of instruction..

Types Modifications. 15. Modifications Assignment example: student only reads pages 5-10, instead of pages 5-25 Curriculum example: student learns about fractions, but only how to read them, not how to add them TEKS example: reducing the number of TEKS covered in a lesson Performance Criteria example: student has a different set of criteria with reduced categories.

HEAD & SHOULDERS. Accommodations and Modifications.

As the following scenarios are read aloud, decide whether it is an accommodation or a modification that is being described. Touch your head making the letter A if you think it’s an accommodation. Touch your shoulders making the letter M if you think it’s a modification..

Accommodations or Modifications. The student is provided more time to complete a task or turn in an assignment. Accommodation = Modification =.
