accommodations help students access learning, but they don’t change how students learn.

Posted on by

Accommodations bypass cognitive weaknesses — they don’t strengthen them.

That’s the focus of this month’s Learning Brain Monthly session:
🎓 Students Need More Than Accommodations
🗓 November 11, 2025, 12 p.m. Central Time
💻 Live + replay included

In this 60-minute, research-grounded session, you’ll learn:

  • The real differences between accommodations, modifications, and compensatory strategies — and what each does (and doesn’t) change.
  • Why students with IEPs and 504s often make incremental progress, not the gains they need to catch up.
  • The cognitive skills that drive learning — attention, working memory, processing speed, inhibitory control, memory — and how to identify them.
  • How cognitive training can change learning capacity itself.
  • Questions that should be asked at IEP/504 meetings to focus on growth, not just access.
     

Whether you’re a classroom teacher, instructional coach, special educator, administrator or parent, this session will help you reframe how support services can truly close the gap.
