2. Moving from Accommodations to Instructional Design to Universal Design
Accommodations are a deficit approach
Modifications and/or compensation for individual weaknesses
Accommodations promote “equal access” for a few students
Approach to accommodations continues to change as legal mandates are amended and reauthorized
Accommodations are retrofits
Accommodation determination process is less than ideal

3. Instructional Design Typically thought of in online discourse, BUT ……
“Instructional Design is the systematic development of instructional specifications using learning and instructional theory to ensure the quality of instruction. It is the entire process of analysis of learning needs and goals and the development of a delivery system to meet those needs. It includes development of instructional materials and activities; and tryout and evaluation of all instruction and learner activities.”
