Question

If a student has a learning disability and reads at a 3rd grader level. Identify two presentation accommodations and two response accommodations the IEP team might identify for the student. Explain how these accommodations are intended to assist the student

Answer 1

Learning disabilty is a Neurodevelopmental disordee in which a child may not have the ability to Read/write/understand/calculate properly despite having normal intelligence.

The child may not be able to understand due to neurological deficits in the brain. To help these children learn and be useful to the society there are specific techniques in which they are made to write exams or taught.

For example

Presentation accommodations :

Child with reading difficult may be given tests with a large font

Or their test questions may be read out aloud

This will most likely bypass their reading disability.

Response accommodations

Child with writing disability may get to answer with help of a computer or as MCQs.

Waivers for punctuation, grammar and paragraphs.

This will helo bypass the childs disability and he may be able to perform better.
