504 Services

Section 504

Section 504 is a federal civil rights law that ensures students with disabilities receive equal access to educational opportunities and services. It is part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and protects students from discrimination based on their disabilities.

Under Section 504, schools are required to provide accommodations, modifications, and support services that allow students with disabilities to fully participate in the general education curriculum and school activities. These supports are outlined in a 504 Plan, which is tailored to meet the individual needs of each student.

​

Key Points:

• Ensures equal access to education for students with disabilities.

• Provides accommodations and support in the classroom.

• Helps remove barriers to learning and participation.
