| In high school students have both accommodations and adaptations, and teachers initiate services for students. |
In college students have only accommodations, and students are responsible for seeking out accommodation services.
|
| With accommodations students are allowed to complete their work in a different way from typical students: using extra time to take a test, for example.
|
Students receive classroom accommodations, based on documentation, but
they are expected to do the same work on the same schedule as typical
college students. |
| With adaptations the actual assignments for a class may be changed with similar, but different, work required for students with disabilities.
|
No adaptation of course work is offered in college. All students take
the same required courses and do the same work at the same time.
|
| In high school students have a 504 plan or an I.E.P. and teachers are responsible for seeing that students’ educational needs are met.
|
In college there is no I.E.P. Students are responsible for ensuring that they receive accommodations and that educational needs are met.
|
| In high school teachers ensure that students’ attend classes, they monitor the completion of required work for students, and they follow up when students are falling behind. |
In college no one reminds a student to attend class, to do homework, to turn in assignments, or to prepare for tests. Students are 100% responsible for their learning! |
| In high school parents and teachers make decisions.
|
In college students makes decisions for themselves. |
