If you have a child with special needs and an IEP has been developed, then you are probably quite familar with the term accommodations. In fact, accommodations are a large part of the 'action' in an IEP. Accommodations usually occur in 3 areas: Instruction, assessment and in the environment.
Instructional accommodations include paired groupings with helpful peers, graphic organizers, extra time, more clarifications and repetitions, technology options etc.
Environmental accommodations will include preferential seating, noise reductions, assistive equipment, alternative work spaces etc. and Assessment accommodations will include additional time, oral responses, computer options, augmentative support, additional breaks, scribing etc.
These are just a few samples of what some accommodations will look like in the IEP. For additional information see the full list.
