Section 504

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (commonly known as Section 504) is federal law that affects all programs receiving federal financial assistance of any kind. It is a civil rights and anti-discrimination law. The law is intended to provide equal opportunity for qualified people with disabilities. This translates into the provision of accessibility, the provision of benefits, services, and aids that are equally effective for people with disabilities and those without, as well as the provision of programs and activities that are otherwise free from discrimination based on disability.
