1. Students with Exceptionalities Although statistics are difficult to obtain, it has been estimated that between 10 and 13 percent of the school-age population has exceptionalities. Thus, in an average-size classroom of 25 students, it is conceivable that 3 or 4 individuals will exhibit one or more exceptionalities http://www.teachervision.fen.com/special-education/new-teacher/48459.html?page=1&detoured=1

7. A List of Typical Special Ed. Accommodations Individualized accommodations are put into place to help learners at risk and students with special needs to have success in their IEP or academic program. Typcially, accommodations are listed in the student's IEP. Here is a list of suggestions for accommodations for a variety of disabilities: http://specialed.about.com/od/iep/a/accomod.htm

11. Adapting Language Arts, Social Studies, and Science Materials for the Inclusive Classroom When instructional materials present a barrier to student learning, teachers often adapt the materials to allow students greater access to the information to be taught. These adaptations may involve changing the content of the materials (the nature or amount of information to be learned) or changing the format of the materials (the way information is presented to the learner). http://www.cec.sped.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=CEC_Today1&TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=4218

13. Are Teachers Required to Provide All Accommodations & Modifications Listed in the Child's IEP? My question concerns accommodations and modifications in the the IEP. If an accommodation or modification is marked in the IEP, is the regular ed teacher required to include that accommodation on every test or activity they create? For example, if "word bank" is marked, does the teacher have to include a word bank on everything? And what about a calculator - can the teacher make an assignment where students are not allowed to use calculators?" http://www.wrightslaw.com/advoc/ltrs/accoms.mods.kelly.htm
