Educational accommodations, which alter the manner in which instruction or assessments are administered, are often an appropriate part of a student’s academic program. However, accommodations are frequently overused and have significant limitations. De-implementing inappropriate accommodations is a complex task, but one made easier through a clear understanding of the factors that cause and maintain those accommodations practices. In the present paper, we use the logic of functional behavioral assessment to better understand why evaluators and school staff recommend and provide inappropriate accommodations. We identify problematic background beliefs, specific antecedents, and reinforcing consequences for inappropriate accommodations, before describing several effective strategies for de-implementing those accommodations.

可以改变教学或评估方式的教学设施通常是学生学术课程的适当组成部分。但是，住宿经常被过度使用并且有很大的局限性。取消实施不合适的适应机制是一项复杂的任务，但是通过清楚地了解导致和维护这些适应机制的因素，可以轻松实现这一目标。在本文中，我们使用功能行为评估的逻辑来更好地理解为什么评估者和学校工作人员会推荐并提供不合适的住宿条件。在描述取消实施这些适应措施的几种有效策略之前，我们先确定有问题的背景信念，特定的前因以及对不适当适应措施的强化后果。
