Nine+Types+of+Adaptations


 * // Nine Types of Adaptations // **

For example: Reduce the number of social studies terms a learner must learn at any one times. || Adapt the time allotted and allowed for learning, task completion, or testing. For example: Individualize a timeline for completing a task; pace learning differently (increase or decrease) for some learners. || Increase the amount of personal assistance with a specific learner. For example: Assign peer buddies, teaching assistants, peer tutors, or cross-age tutors. || For example: Use different visual aids, plan more concrete examples, provide hands-on activities, place students in cooperative groups. || Adapt the skill level, problem type, or the rules on how the learner may approach the work. For example: Allow the use of a calculator to figure math problem; simplify task directions; change rules to accommodate learner needs. || Adapt how the student can respond to instruction. For example: Instead of answering questions in writing, allow a verbal response, use a communication book for some students, allow students to show knowledge with hands-on materials || For example: In geography, have a student hold the globe, while others point out locations. || Adapt the goals or outcome expectations while using the same materials. For example: In social studies, expect a student to be able to locate just the states while others learn to locate capitals as well. || Provide different instruction and materials to meet a student’s individual goals. For example: During a language test, one student is learning computer skills in the computer lab. ||
