What Is an Accommodation?

An accommodation is a legally mandated change that creates a level playing field for a student who has a physical, emotional, or learning disability. An accommodation is any change to a classroom environment or task that Scales
permits a qualified individual with a disability to participate in the classroom process, to perform the essential tasks of the class, or to enjoy benefits and privileges of classroom participation equal to those enjoyed by adult learners without disabilities.

In other words, an accommodation can remove or lessen barriers to the student's performance that are a direct result of the disability. Providers of educational services, including school districts, community colleges, private schools, community-based organizations, literacy organizations, and other agencies must provide "reasonable accommodations" to individuals who self-disclose that they have a disability and provide the appropriate documentation.
