Academic AccessThe goal of using accommodations is to provide equitable instructional and assessment access for students with disabilities. “To level the “playing field”, but not to give any child an advantage above their
peers.”
If accommodations are used with fidelity the outcome of this goal will be
Academic Success for the student.

Accommodations vs. Instructional Adaptations
• Accommodations are instruments used by a single student to increase accessibility to the content of instruction or assessments
• Instructional Adaptations are techniques a teacher may choose to use to help the students understand the concept being taught

Document for InstructionAND Assessment
• If an accommodation is documented to be used for instruction, but is not specified for use during assessments, it CANNOT be used.
![Page 6: 2013 – 2014 Accommodations and Scheduling for State Assessments](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070421/56816280550346895dd2ec26/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
90 – Day Rule• Students must be using tools during
instruction for 90 days prior to the assessment
• Teachers should be documenting the use of these tools during classroom instruction
• Why?• Students who are introduced to using new tools just before a high
pressure situation, usually do worse than if they did not have the tool
