Parents often don't know what accommodations to request because:
- Schools offer only what they typically provide, not what's possible
- Parents don't know what accommodations exist
- Connecting a child's needs to specific accommodations is complex
- Understanding which accommodations are reasonable can be confusing
- Tracking what's working and what isn't requires organization
Accommodation Hub solves this by providing a complete catalog plus AI guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can schools refuse accommodations I request?
Schools must provide "reasonable" accommodations that don't fundamentally alter the curriculum. However, they cannot refuse simply because it's inconvenient. Accommodation Hub helps you understand which accommodations are typically considered reasonable.
What's the difference between accommodations and modifications?
Accommodations change HOW a student learns (same content, different method). Modifications change WHAT a student learns (reduced or altered content). Accommodation Hub focuses on accommodations, though modifications may be appropriate for some students.
Do accommodations follow my child to college?
Many do, but the process changes. In K-12, schools must provide accommodations. In college, students must self-identify and request them. Our Campus Match tool helps find colleges with strong accommodation support.
