ArticleWhat is an accommodation?An accommodation is an adaptation or change to educational environments or practices that helps a student overcome the barriers, or challenges, presented by the disability. It does not change the expectations for learning or the requirements of the task. Types of accommodations Accommodations are typically divided into four categories: Presentation accommodations Response accommodations Setting accommodations Timing and scheduling accommodations How can educators identify and select accommodations to address the needs of individual students? Using a set of guiding questions, the teacher will identify one timing and scheduling accommodation for a student with a disability based on his or her individual strengths and needs and the barrier created by the disability. The educator will then implement the accommodation and evaluate its effectiveness. Finally, the teacher and student will reflect on the effectiveness of the accommodation. ::By: Jane MarryWednesday, May 12, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY+1

OpportunityTechnological advancementsTechnologies. People often ask, what exactly do you mean by “breakthrough”? It’s a reasonable question—some of our picks haven’t yet reached widespread use, while others may be on the cusp of becoming commercially available. What we’re really looking for is a technology, or perhaps even a collection of technologies, that will have a profound effect on our lives. For this year, a new technique in artificial intelligence called GANs is giving machines imagination; artificial embryos, despite some thorny ethical constraints, are redefining how life can be created and are opening a research window into the early moments of a human life; and a pilot plant in the heart of Texas’s petrochemical industry is attempting to create completely clean power from natural gas—probably a major energy source for the foreseeable future. These and the rest of our list will be worth keeping an eye on.By: Vijaya Super adminWednesday, May 12, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY

PostChoice as Reward: Choice in and of itself appears to be highly reinforcing. Provide choices of activities between assignments or embed choices within assignments (e.g., choice of materials, readings, response modes, peer partners). Choices also provide students practice in decision making.By: Vijaya Super adminThursday, May 13, 2021HEALTH AND NUTRITION

ArticleADHD and School interventionsSchool interventions should include a team approach across multiple settings, consisting of bothpreventive and intervention strategies. Interventions must be based upon assessment data that includes information about the student’s strengths and needs as well as the environmental conditions in which her characteristics of ADHD occur. Progress monitoring and strategy adjustments are critical to the success of any intervention plan (Wolraich & DuPaul, 2010). The first step in creating classroom supports for students with ADHD is understanding thestudents’ strengths and needs. This involves formal and informal assessment, as well ascollaboration among educational professionals and the students’ families. If a student is not responsive to behavioral strategies and interventions, more intensive interventions, such as functional behavior assessment and behavior intervention plans, should be considered (see Practical FBA).By: Vijaya Super adminWednesday, May 12, 2021CULTURE AND SOCIETY
