Modifications/Accommodations
Check your child's IEP for modifications/accommodations that are given in the classroom. You can implement these at home when working with your child. The modifications/accommodations are listed below each subject area after the goals and objectives. You can also contact your child's teacher for this information. Below is a sample of what the modifications/accommodations would look like in an IEP.
Samples of Additional Modifications/Accommodations:
Use voice to text of have a parent scribe your answers
Have the child restate the directions to check for understanding
Use a positive reward system
