Accommodations
Special teaching or assessment strategies, human supports and/or individualized equipment required to enable a student to learn and to demonstrate learning. Accommodations do not alter the provincial curriculum expectations for the grade.
Some examples are preferential seating, scribing, read written instructions, alternative work space.
Modifications
Changes made in the age-appropriate grade-level expectations for a subject in order to meet a student's learning needs. This may involve developing expectations that reflect knowledge and skills required in the curriculum for a different grade level and/or increasing or decreasing the number and/or complexity of the regular grade level curriculum expectations.
