Adapted Curriculum

An adapted curriculum is an educational programme that has been modified to accommodate the learning needs, styles, and abilities of students with disabilities while maintaining the core learning objectives of the standard curriculum. Adaptations may include one-on-one tutoring instead of group instruction, extended time allowances, visual supports, simplified instructions, alternative assessment methods, and the use of assistive technology. In computing education, adapted curricula are essential for ensuring that students with cognitive, sensory, or physical disabilities have equitable access to technical skill development, which is increasingly important for employment and independent living.
