What accommodations and modifications might youth with disabilities need in order to participate in youth development and leadership activities?
Accommodations, as well as modifications to specific opportunities or programs, need to be tailored to each young adult s needs, based upon their disability and individual preferences. Accommodations and modifications should also be included on each student s IEP. Accommodations: Accommodations might include assistance with learning about transportation options and requirements to get to and from a program or activity, written materials and publication information about an activity in alternative formats, and information provided in a student s native language. Modifications: Modifications might include such things as shortening the time period for a specific volunteer opportunity, removing any non-essential entrance requirements to support participation in a school club, or changing the nature of an activity to ensure equal access and participation. Some organizations may also receive funding to support accommodations that individuals with disabilities need in order to participate. Fo
