ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the rights of students under Section 504. Once identified, qualified students are entitled to an appropriate public education, regardless of the nature or severity of their impairments. In order to guarantee eligible children an appropriate education, Section 504’s regulations include due process requirements for evaluation and placement similar to those under the IDEA. In making modifications for students under 504 educators must provide aid, benefits, and/or services that are comparable to those available to children who do not have impairments.
