Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 provides for the inclusion of students in a school that is receiving federal funding but do not meet special education eligibility. These students must be given access to the learning programs, participate in instruction, and have academic achievement in the general education program.

Qualifying for a 504 Plan

To qualify for a 504 plan, your child must have a disability and that disability must impact his or her ability to receive an education. Usually, the disability impacts a major life activity and may be identified from a medical condition. Under Section 504, a disability is defined as a condition that impacts one or more basic life activities and can include physical, emotional, or cognitive disabilities. Accommodations and/or related aids and services provided under Section 504 are included in the written plan. The Section 504 Plan is typically revisited yearly.

Developing a 504 Plan

The 504 Plan is a plan developed for a child who has a disability identified under the law and is attending an elementary or secondary school. The written plan is to ensure that an identified student receives accommodations that will help his/her academic success and grant access to the learning environment. Students with 504 Plans do not require specialized instruction
