Can someone please help me with a clear definition of the difference between modification and accommodation?
I work with a bright HS student who is dyslexic & dysgraphic. He was recommended to take 4 majors (an appropriate load,even for most non-ld students) but he and his parents wanted him to take 5 majors (4 classes at the highest tracked level, and being heavy reading courses). The school changed his schedule to meet those requests. (ugh!). All of the possible technology has been put into place for the boy at school and at home. The sky has been the limit there. However, now we are disagreeing on appropriate workload from teachers. He clearly can not do all of the work because of TIME, not ability. He is requesting reduced work load. Teachers do not give busy work. Any advice on what to do?
Look on this site in LD in Depth, under Legal and Legislative…
