What is the difference between an accommodation and a modification?

An accommodation changes how a student accesses the content or demonstrates learning without changing the expectation. A modification changes what is expected. Extended time is an accommodation. Fewer or different items is usually a modification. Coursework tests this distinction constantly.

This comes up on Special Education Coursework, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
