Accommodations and Modifications - Help your child access general curriculum:

Accommodations are required to give a child an equal opportunity to learn--The equality targeted by IDEA is in giving the child access to the same knowledge, by whatever means necessary. I stress this point because the biggest argument from people who are unfamiliar with the intent of IDEA is that providing "extra help" is "unfair", but they are generally failing to see the bigger picture of access to knowledge. They are only focusing on the finite, physical task given to the children. Education is not about being "fair" by making everyone's education exactly the same.

It is necessary to make sure every student has an equal opportunity to learn by providing content in a meaningful way for the individual child (hence the INDIVIDUAL Education Plan).

Here are some places for researching appropriate accommodations and modifications that may help your child succeed in the regular classroom:

LD Online - Accommodations For Students with LD

Parents United Together - Classroom Accommodations
University California Berkeley - Great Info

Learning Disabilities Association of Texas

Academic Accommodations for Students with Learning Disabilities
