What does "accommodations" mean in an educational setting?

A standard classroom practices for all students
B a change in how a student learns new material
C additional homework assignments
D basic requirements of a course

The correct answer is: B a change in how a student learns new material

In an educational setting, "accommodations" refer to adjustments made to the learning environment or to the way information is presented to help students who may have specific learning needs. This can involve changing how a student learns new material, rather than altering what is being taught. Examples of accommodations might include providing extra time on tests, allowing for oral instead of written responses, or offering materials in different formats (like audio). By focusing on how instruction is adjusted, accommodations aim to provide equitable access to education for all students, particularly for those with disabilities or unique learning challenges. This contrasts with a standard classroom practice that applies generally to all students, additional assignments that may overwhelm or confuse students who require support, or basic requirements that outline what everyone must achieve in a course. Each of these options does not specifically address the tailored support that accommodations offer to meet individual student needs.
