Accommodation and modification are two different things. In addition to what you have explained, accommodation is all about adjustments.

It means that you will make major changes in order to create a totally different thing. Both are important when it comes to teaching students. We first have to go easy on them by accommodating them and then later on use modification once they have mastered the lessons taught to them.

Modifications fundamentally change the curriculum. Modifications are ONLY for those students who require a specially designed instruction that modifies -or fundamentally-changes the curriculum.
