Accommodations

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires reasonable accommodations be provided to individuals with disabilities. Accommodations for English language learners (ELLs) are modifications or adjustments used in teaching and assessment to enable them to succeed as a sub‐population group in the American school system. ELLs fall into two distinct sub‐groups: (1) ELLs without Learning Disabilities (LDs), and (2) ELLs with LDs. Many educational administrators conflate ELLs with Learning Disabled students. There is also a severe shortage of bilingual special educators to provide for both the linguistic needs and the special needs of ELLs with LDs. This entry attempts to clarify these issues and give recommendations for classroom teaching and testing accommodations appropriate for both sub‐groups.
