Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accommodations are changes in the administration of a test that do not alter what the test measures. They are designed to provide equal access to individuals with disabilities and are presumed to not change the validity of the test norms. Modifications, on the other hand, may alter the construct being measured and thus could affect the applicability of the test norms.
