Alternative instructional strategies and testing accommodations are also provided to students who demonstrate specific academic needs.

The areas of remediation may include voice, articulation, fluency, and/or overall communicative language skills. Vocabulary, grammar, listening skills, comprehension strategies, and the organization of ideas may also be addressed.
