Which is an example of accommodations under a 504 plan?

• A. Extended time
• B. Changing the standard curriculum
• C. Removing required assignments
• D. Excluding the student from class

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that a 504 plan provides accommodations that change how the student demonstrates learning or interacts with the test, without changing what is being taught or the standards they must meet. Extended time is a classic accommodation because it adjusts the testing conditions to reduce barriers caused by processing speed or attention differences, while the test content and required outcomes remain the same. It helps the student show what they know by giving them enough time to complete the exam.

The other options involve changing the curriculum or removing requirements, which are not accommodations. Changing the standard curriculum would be a modification—altering what the student is expected to learn. Removing required assignments or excluding the student from class would change the workload or exclude the student from instruction, neither of which aligns with the purpose of a 504 accommodation.
