I am translating a student handbook and came across the term "accommodations" and as it turns out, the there is a specific meaning in the educational context.
The text where the term is found:
In compliance with a federal law known as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the School District will provide to each protected student with a disability, without discrimination or cost to the student or family, those related supplementary support services or accommodations which are needed to provide equal opportunity to participate in and obtain the benefits of the school program and extracurricular activities to the maximum extent appropriate to the person’s abilities.
Here's a definition I found for the term:
Accommodations can help kids learn the same material and meet the same expectations as their classmates. If a student has reading issues, for example, she might listen to an audio recording of a text. There are different types of classroom accommodations, including presentation (like listening to an audio recording of a text) and setting (like where a student sits).

Based on the above, I lean towards a translation like "adecuaciones curriculares." Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

adecuaciones o modificaciones
Se trata de todo lo que haya que hacer para posibilitar la educación del alumno. Pueden ser adecuaciones curriculares pero también de otro tipo, como facilidades, material escolar adaptado, o cualquier otra cosa que facilite la vida del estudiante. Por lo tanto usaría solo adecuaciones y no adecuaciones curriculares.
Es común que los distritos provean desde maestros especiales, a más tiempo para hacer la tarea, materiales de trabajo adaptados, transporte, modificaciones curriculares, salas y otros.
Accommodations: Technical Definition. Accommodations are supports and services provided to help a student access the general education curriculum and validly demonstrate learning. Examples of Accommodations: Time: extend the time allotted to take a test, finish an assignment, learn a concept, or complete an activity.

Hay que pensarlo en el sentido de "hacerle lugar", "darle lugar", darle posibilidades de estar/aprender/transitar la escuela.

: Sin lugar a dudas, la idea es ésta. Accommodations podrían incluir también tiempo adicional para tomar exámenes y pruebas. Another term often used in this context is "supports" (plural). Saludos :-)
