An accommodation in a student's IEP refers to?

An accommodation in a student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) specifically refers to tools and supports that provide equal access to learning for students with disabilities. This means that accommodations are designed to help students succeed in the general education environment by addressing their unique needs, without changing the curriculum itself.

For instance, accommodations may include modifications such as providing extra time on tests, allowing the use of technology, or offering alternative formats for assignments. These adjustments enable students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills effectively, ensuring that they have the same opportunities as their peers.

In contrast, other choices focus on different aspects of educational support. Changes in the curriculum would imply a modification of what is being taught, which is typically considered a modification rather than an accommodation. Additional resources for parents do not directly involve the student’s learning process in the classroom context. Finally, while physical changes in the classroom might offer support, accommodations can encompass a broader range of strategies beyond just modifications to the physical environment. Therefore, B embodies the comprehensive nature of accommodations as intended within the context of an IEP.
