Requirement and Options Under Section 504

 

Unlike IDEA, Section 504 is not limited to a discrete list of disabilities, but defines the term broadly.

Section 504 defines an individual with disabilities as a person who has a physical or mental condition that substantially limits a major life activity; has a history of such a condition; or is regarded as having such a condition. This white paper reviews the definition of individuals with disabilities under Section 504; discusses students with a history of disability or regarded as disabled, and reviews temporary and intermittent disabilities.
