Section

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)).
