Types of Accommodations Parent Guide Series · Part 2

Understanding the different types of accommodations can help families make sense of why certain supports appear in an IEP or 504 plan. This one-page, parent-friendly guide breaks down the four main categories of accommodations: Presentation, Response, Setting, and Timing/Scheduling using clear language and simple visuals.

This resource helps parents understand what each type of accommodation does, how it supports student access, and why these distinctions matter. It is designed to build confidence during school conversations and support collaborative decision-making with educational teams.

This guide is part of the Parent Guide Series, a collection of short, parent-friendly resources created to support families in understanding school accommodations.
