Federal guidelines mandate different services offered in high school versus colleges. This chart provides examples of the differences.

| Instructor repeats/rephrases directions during class | Student should ask questions when appropriate in class, after class, or email instructor outside of class for clarification |
| Study guides, word banks, access to notes during testing | Only if available to entire class |
| Modifying tests/homework assignments | Students must complete same coursework as non disabled peers |
Accommodations are provided on a case-by-case basis depending on individual student limitations.
