Accommodations vs Modifications Explained

Modifications change the learning objectives so students are expected to learn different content, while accommodations facilitate access to objectives without changing them. Accommodations alter how content is taught, accessed, or assessed but do not modify the objectives. Common accommodations include changes to presentation, response, timing, and setting to provide equal access while maintaining learning expectations.
