Personalizing Accommodations and Modifications with Shelley Kenow
Are you the teacher who writes the same accommodations on every student's IEP?
🤔 Don't stress...you're not alone (I've been there too)
But after listening to today's episode you're going to be a pro at individualizing the accommodations and modifications you put on each student's IEP.
"The same glasses prescription doesn't work for everyone and that same principle should be applied to accommodations and modifications."
Shelley Kenow is our guest and she tells it like it is...the accommodation and modification sections are part of the IEP and must be individualized and followed just like the rest of the document.
Listen in as we chat about:
- What to say to the special educator who puts the same accommodations on every single IEP they have
- Why it's important to PERSONALIZE the selection of accommodations and modifications
- Who should be a part of the selection of the accommodations & modifications
- Recommendations for what to do if a general education teacher isn’t providing them
- Whether a student HAS to use a listed accommodation or modification or not
Shelley is the author of Those Who “Can’t…Teach: True Stories of Special Needs Families to Promote Acceptance, Inclusion, and Empathy.
She has her own Livestream called #nolimits where she interviews people who society has placed limits upon but who have busted through those limits.
She had the great honor of interviewing Dr. Temple Grandin, Xavier DeGroat, John O’Leary, ABLE participants, Mentra founders and have surpassed the 100th episode.
You can email her at [email protected] to get the Accommodations and Modifications guidelines and checklist for ensuring each one is individualized.
