II. Summary of Performance:
(Completion of this section may require input from a variety of staff, but
one person should have the responsibility of gathering and organizing the
information. Describe both present levels of performance that apply to
the student and the essential accommodations, modifications and
assistive technology utilized to assist the student in achieving progress.
Address only those areas that apply.)
Terms:
Accommodation-a support or service that is provided to help a student
fully access the general education curriculum or subject matter and does
not change the content of what is being taught or the expectation that the
student meet a performance standard applied for all students. (Example:
Deficit spelling/handwriting skills may require a note-taker, permission
to word process notes, provision of extra notes)
Adaptation (also known as modification)-changes to the general
education curriculum or other material being taught, which alters the
standards or expectations for students with disabilities. Instruction can
be adapted so that the material is presented differently and/or the
expectations of what the student will master are changed. Adaptations
are not allowed in most postsecondary education environments.
Assistive technology-any device that helps a student with a disability
function in a given environment, but does not limit the device to
expensive “high-tech” options. Assistive technology can also include
simple devices such as laminated pictures for communication, removable
highlighter tape, Velcro and other “low-tech” devices.
