Supplementary Aids and Services cover which items?

• A. Accommodations and Modifications; Special Education Services
• B. School supplies and textbooks
• C. After-school activities
• D. Disciplinary procedures

Answer: (A)

Supplementary Aids and Services are the supports that help a student with a disability access the general education curriculum and participate with peers. The essential pieces are accommodations, which adjust how instruction or testing is delivered without lowering learning expectations (for example, extra time on tests, preferential seating, or assistive technology), and modifications, which adjust what is taught or what the student is expected to learn. These supports are designed to be used in the classroom to enable inclusion with non-disabled students. Items like school supplies or textbooks are just materials, not the instructional supports described by SAS. After-school activities are outside the core classroom supports, and disciplinary procedures address behavior management rather than instructional access. Special Education Services refer to direct or related services provided under an IEP, whereas SAS focuses on the in-class supports that enable participation through accommodations and modifications.
