12small supports, every class
Drawn for this page. Accommodations work when they happen in every class, every day.

How to use it

  1. Start a record with the student’s initials or a code and the date.
  2. Note whether the accommodations come from an IEP, a 504 plan or informal support.
  3. Mark each accommodation for the classes you checked.
  4. Read the gaps and the supports not yet written down.
  5. Share the printout with each teacher and check again later.

What the check is for

Written means required

Accommodations in an IEP or a Section 504 plan are part of the services the school has agreed to provide. Every teacher who works with the student should have access to the plan and know their part in it.

Small things, done routinely

Most communication accommodations are small: a written step list, a pause before calling on the student, a word list on Monday. They work when they happen in every class, not when they happen once.

What this check is not

It does not change the plan. Accommodations are added or removed by the IEP or Section 504 team; this check gives that team accurate information.
