What is the relationship between accommodations & accessible instructional materials? How are they the same? How are they different? Is one a subset of the other?

Accommodations as defined by BEESS through the Accommodations handbook of 2010, the ESE FEFP Matrix of s
Services and FAC Rule 6A-6.03411 are changes that can be made in the way the student accesses information and demonstrates performance. Accessible instructional materials in turn are the strategies one may use to provide appropriate accommodations to SWD. As such AIM is a subset of accommodations. One can have an accommodations without AIM but one cannot have AIM without an accommodation. For example an accommodation which is not AIM would be extra time for completion of assignments. Scheduling accommodations are not examples of AIM. AIM can be found in response and presentation accommodations.
