Adaptations vs. Modifications
In short, adaptations (also referred to as accommodations) change how a student learns the same curriculum as other students in the classroom. For example, a student with dysgraphia (difficulties with writing) may be provided with a laptop to complete assignments. Adaptations does not mean a change in curriculum (what the student learns).
Modifications change what a student is taught or expected to learn. For example, rather than reading an entire novel and writing a literary essay, a modified student may be asked to read a shorter text and complete a different assignment. Students who are modified do not follow the curriculum that other students do.
