Page 77

Accommodations are commonly categorized in four ways; presentation, response, setting, and

timing/scheduling.

1.

Presentation Accommodations allow students to access instructional materials in alternative

ways (e.g., students with print disabilities utilizing auditory formats; students with attentional

difficulties may require visual outlines).

2.

Response Accommodations allow students to record or demonstrate their mastery and work

products in alternate ways or to solve or organize their work using some type of materials or

devices.

3.

Setting Accommodations change the location in which instruction is given or the conditions of

the setting.

4.

Timing/Scheduling Accommodations change the allowable length of time for assignments,

projects, and tests, and may also change the way the time is organized.

Transportation

DoDM 1342.12

E4 S8c9, p 34:

Transportation is not provided to students who live within walking distance of the school and whose

identified needs do not prevent them from walking with parents or caretakers or being escorted. A

statement of special transportation requirement, if any, must be documented.

1.

None. The disability does not indicate the need for special transportation.

2.

Special Transportation. Special transportation is authorized for students with disabilities that

preclude their capability to be transported in the least restrictive manner (i.e., regular

transportation).

a.

Safety attendant (e.g., ensures student enters and exits the bus safely, secures student

with seating devices, and ensures student behaves safely while on the bus).

b.

Safety aide with specialized training to manage the student’s particular disability.

c.

Wheelchair accessibility.

d.

Special seating devices.

e.

Alternate bus stop (student may require curb-to-curb service depending on the

student’s disability).

f.

Alternate vehicle

If the CSC suspects the student requires special transportation arrangements, the district transportation

officer is invited to participate in the IEP meeting. Special transportation does not always require a

separate special education vehicle.
