CURRENT STATE POLICY ON DOCUMENTING ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORTS COULD BE INSERTED HERE. Documenting Accessibility Supports on a Student’s 504 Plan Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires public schools to provide certain accessibility supports to students with disabilities even if they do not qualify for special education services under IDEA. The definition of a disability under Section 504 is much broader than the definition under IDEA. All IDEA students are also covered by Section 504, but not all Section 504 students are eligible for services under IDEA. Section 504 states No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. [29 U.S.C. Sec. 794] Examples of students who may receive designated features or accommodations based on their 504 accommodation plan include students with allergies or asthma; attention difficulties; communicable diseases (e.g., hepatitis); drug or alcoholic addictions, as long as they are not currently using illegal drugs; environmental illnesses; or temporary disabilities from accidents who may need term hospitalization or homebound recovery.
