Abstract	This manual is a guide to providing accommodations and modifications for students with disabilities enrolled in vocational and adult general education programs in Florida. The first chapter briefly describes the programs available to students with disabilities, explains the difference between "accommodations" and "modifications," and discusses issues of legal compliance, eligibility, and the decision-making process. The second chapter describes instructional strategies for various groups including needs assessment, classroom organization, teaching techniques, and assessment practices (including accommodations, alternate assessment procedures, and exemptions). Chapter 3, on accommodations, examines general factors, assistive technology options, instruction and assessment (by subject area), accommodations in the learning and work environment, and accommodations in job requirements. The following chapter addresses the use of modifications including the impact of modifications and use of modified occupational completion points. The fifth chapter offers guidance for getting started in providing accommodations and modifications. Appendices include excerpts from State Board of Education Rules and a list of resources. (Contains 38 references.) (DB)
