Accommodate HQ

As the number of individuals being diagnosed with learning disabilities has increased, so have the understanding and utilization of universal design and technological strategies for accommodation. There are a number of things instructors can do while designing and planning a course to make it more accessible to all students, including those with learning disabilities. Choosing the right technological tools can further help instructors accommodate students.

This is where Accommodate HQ is a critical component of your academic programs and Canvas courses!

Grant special access to one or more students on an assignment, quiz, survey, or discussion from a central location, via the Accommodate HQ app, without having to open every single course assignment.

From a single location, you can:

– Extend due dates, available from and allow until dates.

– Open items earlier or later for select students.

– Remove deadlines completely to accommodate learners.

Accommodate the needs of different students, by entering unique dates for individuals or groups.
