Classroom Accommodations

Problems Faced

  1. There can be problem with articulation or voice strength to complete voicelessness.
  2. Difficulties in projection
  3. Fluency problems, as in stuttering and stammering

Accommodations Required

  • Give students the opportunity, but do not compel them to speak in class.
  • Permit students the time they require to express themselves, without unsolicited aid in filling in gaps in their speech.
  • Don’t be reluctant to ask the student to repeat a statement.
  • Address students naturally.
  • Don’t assume the “spread phenomenon”—that they cannot hear or comprehend.
