Accommodations

CCDI's data collection instrument also documents the accommodations initiated for students with special needs. Twenty- four different accommodations are indicated and an accommodation has been counted only once per individual. Similarly to the number of students with disabilities, the number of accommodations utilized by students has increased. (See Figure 3.)
