Students with a disability or impairment may qualify for additional educational supports through Section 504 if it is determined, by a team of professionals at your child's schools, that academic progress may be impacted by a health condition. Section 504 is a provision outlined by federal statute that promotes equitable access to education, despite a child's disability or health impairment.
Section 504 federal statute states that:
"No otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any other program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
