This feature is available as part of our premium platform, Edcite Schools. To learn more about Edcite Schools, click here.

For information on Creating a Student Group in an admin account and adding students, see this document. This help document is focused on how an administrator can add modifications and accommodations to a group of students. 


Note - this setting will take precedence over all other settings in Edcite. For example - if a student group is given Text-To-Speech access, but a given assignment has Text-To-Speech disabled - students in the group will have Text-To-Speech. 


  1. Sign into an admin account or sub admin account with access to the student group(s) you want to add modifications or accommodations to.



  1. On the navigation bar, click Rosters → District Students
