157 See C.L. v. Scarsdale Union Free Sch. Dist., 744 F.3d 826 (2d Cir. 2014).
158 Id. at 839. The court was influenced by the IHO’s findings of “progress” reflected in objective test scores, but also in evidence about the child’s increased enthusiasm about attending school, his improvement in expression, and improved ability to work independently. Id. at 834.

(b) For the purposes of this section, the term “program or activity” means all of the operations of . . . . . . .

Rehabilitation Act of 1973, § 504, 29 U.S.C. § 794 (2012). Eligibility for an IEP does not necessarily establish a disability under Section 504. Ellenberg v. N.M. Military Inst., 572 F.3d 815, 820 (10th Cir. 2009). Qualification for protection under Section 504 as a disabled person is determined by reference to regulations contained in the Code of Federal Regulations. Id. at 820. Key to qualification is “substantial limitation” of a “major life activity.” Id. The purposes of the IDEA and Section 504 differ, however, in that “Section 504 provides relief from discrimination, but the IDEA [provides] relief from inappropriate educational placement decisions, regardless of discrimination.” Id. at 821–22. Exhaustion of administrative remedies under the IDEA is a requirement for asserting claims under Section 504 for relief that is also cognizable under the IDEA. Cave v. E. Meadow Union Free Sch. Dist., 514 F.3d 240, 245 (2d Cir. 2008); see also 20 U.S.C. § 1415(l) (2012). In C.L., the court stated that relief under Section 504 is predicated on a showing of “bad faith or gross misjudgment” and that this was not shown, notwithstanding the district’s failure to classify C.L. under the IDEA. C.L., 744 F.3d at 841.
