Section 504

The term "section 504" refers to a section of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.  This federal law states that no person "...shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance" (Sec. 504 (a)).

The Council of Educators for Students with Disabilities, Inc. website will provide you with more specific information on Section 504 and on IDEA (special education).
