Accommodating Physical and Other Health Impairments

Research-based Evaluation of Accommodations and/or Modifications

Understanding the curiosity as a tendency to search for information regarding an event or situation partially known (Dell et al, 2008), a good way for the teacher to awaken interest in learning a particular content, would be given the opportunity to make something new is happening in your field of work and link with the material to develop, for example. Or provide a different approach, unexpected or personalized content study, or to let the students who investigate for subsequent sessions some event related to which will be addressed and which together develop the theme in question. Some of the accommodation techniques currently in practice are as below (Gerber & Guay, 2006);

1. The possibilities to ask questions whose answers involve personal positions or arising possible solutions to problems related to the subject. A variant this strategy could be left open that link an approach that seen during the day with which will start the next match.

In this sense the arrangement of the desks in the form of "U" would be change, respect to the traditional way of bearings. Between this variant could locate another form of meeting and in small groups, for example (Olmstead, 1991).

7. The use of interspersed questions where the participant is able to: describe a situation; present a problem to mention a current event or special curiosity (Spencer & Marschark, 2010).
