What Is An Accommodation?
"Accommodation" is a broad term referencing approved auxiliary aids and services, including such considerations as but not limited to:
- adjustable lighting
- sound amplification
- note-takers
- ASL interpretation
- speech to text interpretation
- use of a computer for in-class exams and in-class writing assignments
- a distraction-free environment, whenever possible, for in-class exams
- extra time for in-class examinations and in-class writing assignments
- alternative book and test formats
Accommodations are tailored to an individual's situation, taking into account the nature of their disability, their prior experience with specific accommodations, and the context of the learning environment and course content.
