Section 504

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 provides protection and accommodations for students with disabilities who do not meet eligibility for an IEP under IDEA but still require support to access the general education curriculum.

A 504 Plan outlines the accommodations and services needed for equitable access. In some districts, an ILP (Individualized Learning Plan) may be used alongside or in place of a 504 Plan for goal tracking and academic planning, depending on policy.
