Quick and Easy Adaptations and Accommodations for Early Childhood Students

Leisa M. Breitfelder

Research-based information is used to support the idea of the use of adaptations and accommodations for early childhood students who have varying disabilities. Multiple adaptations and accommodations are outlined. A step-by-step plan is provided on how to make specific adaptations and accommodations to fit the specific needs of early childhood students. Pictures of each adaptation and accommodation are also included. This will allow for better understanding when making these materials. Areas that were researched include: autism, behavior disorders, learning disabilities, sensory needs, communication disorders, developmental disorders, attention deficit disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Outlined are instructions to make visual supports, picture schedules, work systems, behavior modification charts, and picture exchange communication (PECS) books.
