Section 504

Section 504 is a federal civil rights law that protects the rights of students with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits a major life activity. It requires that recipients of federal funds make programs and activities accessible to all persons with disabilities.  Section 504 has three areas of emphasis: employment; facility accessibility; and requirements for preschool, elementary and secondary education programs/activities. This page focuses solely on students.
