Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a comprehensive civil rights law that addresses the rights of the disabled and applies to all agencies receiving federal financial assistance. The law states: “No qualified individual with disabilities, shall, solely by reason of his/her disability be excluded from participation in, or denied benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
Section 504 is not an aspect of “special education,” but rather, is the responsibility of the general education system. Frequently the needs of a student experiencing difficulties at school can be met through the Student Support Team (SST)/Response to Intervention (RTI) process. If the intervention team has documentation, or reason to believe, that a disability condition may exist, referral to the Section 504 Committee for consideration may be in order to determine eligibility for accommodations and to ascertain whether or not equal access to school is a concern. If access is not being denied and educational progress is being made, an accommodation plan may not be needed. For more information, contact the Section 504 Coordinator at the student’s school, or the Hall County Schools 504 Coordinator, Thomas Stegarp, at 770-534-1080.
