Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal civil rights law that ensures students with disabilities have equal access to education. Under Section 504, schools must provide accommodations and support so that students with a physical or mental impairment can fully participate in classroom instruction, school activities, and programs.

​

Students who qualify for a Section 504 Plan may receive accommodations or services tailored to their individual needs. These accommodations do not change what a student is expected to learn, but they remove barriers that may impact the student’s ability to access and benefit from their education.

​

Section 504 is designed to promote equity, protect students’ rights, and ensure that every learner has the support they need to be successful in school.
