Giving additional help like directions or materials to a student with special needs to finish tasks is called

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

Answer: (A)

Providing extra help like clearer directions or materials to a student so they can finish tasks is an accommodation. Accommodations change how a student accesses the curriculum or demonstrates learning, but they do not alter the learning goals or what the student is expected to know. For example, giving simplified directions, offering visual aids, or providing additional resources helps the student complete the same tasks and meet the same standards as peers. If the task itself were changed—such as reducing the content or changing the objectives—that would be a modification, not an accommodation.
