Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is the law that does not allow discrimination on the basis of disability, guaranteeing anyone with a disability equal access to education. A 504 plan is created for students with a disability who require support in order to be successful in the classroom. Children with a 504 plan are protected and should receive learning in a typical classroom, in a classroom with supplementary services or some combination of the two.
