Student Accommodation Strategy Guide

Create Your Learning Support Plan

Select the student's primary learning profile to receive personalized accommodation recommendations. You can combine multiple profiles for complex needs.

Step 1: Choose Learning Profile(s)

Making Accommodations Work

Effective accommodations require matching specific tools to individual student needs. Start with one or two key strategies rather than implementing everything at once. Track what works and adjust as needed.

Getting Started Tips

Common Implementation Challenges

Teachers may need training on how to use certain tools effectively. Some accommodations require administrative approval or budget allocation. When meeting resistance, focus on the specific problem the accommodation solves and present data showing its effectiveness.

Tracking Progress

Use the built-in monitoring sheets to track accommodation effectiveness. Record baseline performance before implementation, then check weekly. Look for improvements in completion rates, accuracy, confidence levels, and reduced stress during academic tasks.

Communication Templates

Include accommodation needs in IEP updates, parent-teacher conference notes, and beginning-of-year letters. Be specific about what works, what does not, and what adjustments might help. Schools are more likely to support strategies when they understand the reasoning behind them.
