AI Accommodation Suggestions for High School
High school teachers are subject-area specialists, not learning difference specialists, and most have between 100 and 150 students across multiple sections. When a student is struggling, the teacher often knows what they see in class but does not know what to do about it. The Accommodation Suggestion Generator gives high school teachers and counselors a starting point: accommodation suggestions for the area of need they select, organized into actionable categories they can fit to a 50-minute period and a full course load.

How teachers use accommodation suggestions for high school
Ms. Rivera gets suggestions for a student managing PTSD
A high school English teacher with a student who is a trauma survivor and experiences hypervigilance and avoidance responses during discussion-based activities. She enters the observed profile (avoidance of oral participation, distress during conflict-related text discussions, difficulty with surprise assignment changes) and receives trauma-informed accommodation suggestions: advance notice of content themes, private participation alternatives to public discussion, flexible assignment submission timelines, and a designated calm space option.
Mr. Lee creates suggestions for a student with significant processing speed deficits
A 10th-grade biology teacher with a student who has documented processing speed deficits that affect timed activities but not content mastery. He enters the processing speed profile and receives specific suggestions: extended time on all timed assessments, reduced-length note-taking requirements with a provided outline, digital lab report template to reduce formatting time, and check-in points during independent work to catch confusion early rather than at submission.
Ms. Johnson generates suggestions ahead of a student returning from hospitalization
A school counselor coordinating a re-entry plan for a student returning from a psychiatric hospitalization. The student will be managing medication adjustments and may have reduced stamina and concentration. She generates accommodation suggestions for the re-entry period: flexible attendance provisions, reduced workload during the first two weeks, preferential seating near the door for easy access to the counseling office, and a quiet alternative testing environment for the remainder of the semester.

Questions teachers ask
Can high school teachers use the generator for students without a formal IEP or 504 plan?
Yes. Many high school students who could benefit from accommodations do not have formal plans, they may be undiagnosed, in the evaluation process, or experiencing situational challenges (illness, family crisis, mental health difficulties) that create temporary needs. The generator produces practical suggestions based on described observations and challenges, without requiring any formal documentation. Teachers can implement informal accommodations immediately while formal processes are underway.
Does the generator include suggestions for test preparation and standardized testing?
Yes. The template covers tests and quizzes in general (extra time, a quiet place, directions read aloud), and it has no content on standardized testing such as SAT, ACT, AP exams, IB exams, and state graduation assessments. You can add what to do in the classroom to build test skills, and request formal testing accommodations from the relevant testing organization. For AP and IB testing, check the request process with the testing organization.
Can the suggestions address college transition planning for seniors?
Yes. The template does not cover college transition, but for 11th and 12th-grade students you can add your own notes on which accommodations are likely to transfer to the college setting, what documentation colleges typically require for disability services, and how to self-advocate for accommodations in a college context where parents are less involved. This content is most relevant for students who have IEP or 504 plans and are planning to request accommodations from a college disability services office.
How do the suggestions apply in AP or honors courses with high academic expectations?
Accommodations do not reduce academic expectations, they remove barriers to demonstrating what a student knows. The generator creates suggestions appropriate for high-rigor courses: extended time for a student who processes slowly does not lower the AP exam standard, it removes the speed barrier to demonstrating AP-level content mastery. Accommodation suggestions for AP and honors contexts are calibrated to maintain course rigor while addressing the specific access barrier the student faces.
