  2. Topics of Discussion • What is a Section 504 Plan? • Who qualifies?

  3. What is a Section 504 Plan? • A written document describing the disability and the education, placement or related services as appropriate. • The Plan will specify how the regular or modified education and related aids and services will be provided, and by whom.

  4. How come? • Code of Federal Regulations - Title 34 • Managed through the Office of Civil Rights • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 • Regular Education - Not Special Education

  5. Who Qualifies • Disabled Person • Affect major life activity • Has a record of such an impairment • Is regarded as having an impairment

  6. Definitions • “Disabled person” means any person who (1) has a physical or mental impairment, which substantially limits one or more major life activities, (2) has a record of such an impairment, or (3) is regarded as having such an impairment. • “Major life activities” means functions such as caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, working.

  7. More Definitions • “Has a record of such an impairment” means has a history of, or has been misclassified as having, a mental or physical impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. • “Is regarded as having an impairment” means (A) has a physical or mental impairment that does not substantially limit major life activities but that is treated by the district as constituting such a limitation; (B) has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits major life activities only as a result of the attitudes of others toward such impairment; or (C) has non of the impairments defined above but is treated by the district as having such an impairment.

  8. Who is on the Team • Persons knowledgeable about the student, the student’s individual needs, the meaning of the evaluation data, and the placement options. • The parents or guardian is always invited to the meeting

  9. Follow-up • The 504 Team will monitor the effectiveness of the plan annually to determine whether adjustments in the plan are necessary, and to assure that the agreed upon services are being provided as needed to ensure the disabled student’s needs are met as adequately as the needs of nondisabled students.
