How does a teacher make modifications and/or accommodations for children with special needs? In particular, how do you believe this can be done in a classroom for grades 1 -3?  Focus on three of the following areas and discuss either how you would make a modification in this area, what you have seen other teachers do to make modifications, or what you have done in the past to make a modification.

• classroom environment
• classroom routines
• learning activities
• student groupings
• teaching strategies
• instructional materials
• assessments
• homework assignments

Lastly, how can we assist students to show social acceptance of their classmates with special needs?
