Accommodations adjust how a task is accessed or demonstrated so the student can participate and show what they know without changing the learning goal. The statement reflects this by describing the student receiving, learning, or performing something different from peers. That difference is the core idea of an accommodation: the method or support is altered to fit the learner’s needs while aiming for the same outcome.

Contextually, accommodations can include different formats, pacing, or supports that let the student engage with the material in a way that works for them. While using supports or assistive devices can be part of accommodations, the defining point is that the approach differs from what peers do. Completing tasks without modifications would not be an accommodation.
