Next, I would include a decision point for evaluating the effectiveness of the accommodations and making any necessary adjustments. Finally, I would include a feedback loop to ensure ongoing communication and collaboration with the student, their parents, and any other relevant stakeholders. This flowchart would serve as a visual reminder of the key considerations and steps for providing appropriate instruction for students with disabilities.
