QUESTION 4/5

Modification

Depends on the TEK

Accommodation

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation: Speech-to-text is considered an accommodation because it supports students in demonstrating their knowledge without changing the learning expectations or the content itself. It allows them to access the same curriculum and tasks as their peers while providing a different way to express their understanding.

QUIZ

QUESTION 5/5

Accommodation or Modification?Teacher reads the passage aloud to the student.

Accommodation

Modification

Depends on the TEK

QUIZ

RIGHT!

Explanation:If reading the text aloud changes what the student is expected to learn or do—such as simplifying the task or altering the learning goals—it qualifies as a modification. If it merely provides support to help the student engage with the same material and meet the same expectations as their peers, then it is an accommodation. So, it ultimately depends on what TEKS or learning objectives are tied to that activity.
