Section 504 Policies and Procedures

Abstract

THIS STUDY FOCUSES ON THE COMPLEXITIES OF PROVIDING SERVICES TO STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES WITHIN THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF SECTION 504 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT OF 1973. A BRIEF SURVEY INSTRUMENT, SENT TO ALL STATE SPECIAL EDUCATION DIRECTORS, WAS USED TO DETERMINE STATE PRACTICES ADDRESSING THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES UNDER SECTION 504. ALL 50 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA PARTICIPATED IN THE STUDY. EXISTING STATE POLICIES/GUIDELINES WERE ALSO EXAMINED IN LIGHT OF SEVEN COMPONENTS OUTLINED IN SUBPART D OF SECTION 504. BASED ON THE DATA COLLECTED, AS WELL AS THE REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE, SUGGESTIONS ARE PROVIDED FOR DEVELOPING SECTION 504 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
