Garth had both accommodations and modifications through his IEP and his 504 Plan, which helped him to be successful and be able to accomplish the things that he needed to and wanted to.
Garth's IEP included many accommodations and modifications. Garth really struggled to read even up until the time that he graduated from high school so he had modifications that helped him to be able to learn without having to read. Since Garth's mental abilities were about that of a six year old the curriculum was greatly modified for him, so that he would be able to continue learning and be able to move along in a pace that fit his specific needs, which often included a smaller project or a completely different project. Since Garth had many modifications he graduated with a modified degree but he was still really happy because he was able to make it through high school! Garth also had some modifications like being able to listen to recordings instead of reading, and having more time to complete an assignment or a test. These accommodations helped Garth to be able to keep up in the areas that he was successful in and to be even more successful. The accommodations and modifications that Garth received helped him to become a more successful student in his classes.
Garth also received some modifications in his 504 Plan, which helped him in the work place. Garth received modifications like having more time to complete a task, and having a buddy near to help him if it was needed. These modifications in the work place have helped him to be more successful and the more that he works in his job they are finding that he needs the accommodations less.
Garth was able to receive these accommodations and modifications because he was protected by IDEA and is now protected by Section 504.
