Compensatory interventions are designed to provide students with additional supports and accommodations to help them succeed in the current academic setting. These interventions focus on addressing the student's immediate needs by providing tools and strategies to help them manage their challenges. Examples of compensatory interventions include extended time on tests, preferential seating, and the use of assistive technology.
On the other hand, remedial interventions are aimed at addressing underlying learning difficulties or deficits that are hindering a student's academic progress. These interventions focus on building foundational skills and addressing the root causes of the student's challenges. Remedial interventions may involve targeted instruction in specific areas of need, such as reading or math, to help the student catch up to their peers.
