Academic Accommodations Policy

Available Accommodations

Accommodations provided through the Learning Center are reasonable and appropriate as outlined by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The list below outlines general accommodations provided within the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools. All accommodations may not be appropriate for all students based on their development, diagnosis, or individual needs, so it is important to work closely with your child's Teaching and Learning Specialist to create an Accommodation Plan.

Reasonable and appropriate accommodation refers to the provision of conditions and equipment that provide students with disabilities with a reasonable opportunity to participate equitably in the academic environment, unless the provision would cause undue burden to the school. Appropriate accommodations may be coordinated with cooperating teachers, students, and families through the Learning Center to meet the individual needs of each student with an appropriately documented disability.
