Universal Design for Learning supports ALL students, but some students require more intensive, targeted support. IEP accommodations provide individual students with these supports.
Understanding terminology on a student's IEP can be challenging, especially if we are not immersed in this language. To support our students with specific, identified learning needs, we have developed resources on this page to help us understand terminology as well as strategies for fulfilling accommodations listed on students' IEPs as they engage with learning in our classrooms.
