Course Description:
What is Section 504, and how does it apply to physical therapy in schools? Even though Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act was passed in the 1970s, there was limited application of the law to
children in schools until more recently. This course will explain how Section 504 of the
Rehabilitation Act became an important law for children with disabilities in school, how Section
504 is similar to and different from the IDEA, and how to consider which children should
receive reasonable accommodations under Section 504. The course will also provide examples of
reasonable accommodations and discuss the development and implementation of 504 plans for
children in schools. Differentiation between related services under IDEA and accommodations
under Section 504 will be emphasized throughout.
