Reasonable accommodations are anything that can possibly be done to assure equal access to education. But, there are exceptions for safety and health reasons.

Establishing an environment that provides structure in the classroom and consistent application of rules can help some students with psychological disabilities. 

Learning disorders are processing problems that can be addressed by offering materials in varied formats. Always remembering that each accommodation needs to fit each student's need.

Providing accommodations takes collaboration from school specialists in some situations.

Physical barriers to learning have to be addressed for students with significant physical disabilities.

Accommodations are required by law and administered through 504 plans and IEPs.

There is a vast amount of different disabilities all with different needs/accommodations.  

Course outcomes are the driver of the lesson plan. As a new teacher taking the time to analyze how well a lesson worked and making notes and adjustments to improve lesson planning skills.

Objectives should be expressed as outcomes so students know what they have to accomplish.

Document and stay current with your lesson plans. Thoughtful planning leads to better results and more student engagement.

Make sure you have enough content to fill the time you have. Have extra work ready in case a lesson takes less time than you expect.
