What term describes providing a student access to the same curriculum as peers, but information is presented in a different way?

• A. Accommodation
• B. Modification
• C. Adaptation
• D. Assimilation

Answer: (A)

Accommodations. This means the student is given access to the same curriculum as peers, but the information is presented in a different way or with supports that help them understand and participate, without changing the learning goals. Examples include using visuals or simplified text, audio or read-aloud options, graphic organizers, glossaries or bilingual dictionaries, extended time, or alternative response formats. A modification would change what the student is expected to learn or demonstrate, not just how it’s delivered. Assimilation isn’t about curriculum delivery, and adaptation is a broader term that isn’t the specific classroom practice described here.
