    A 504 plan provides accommodations and support for students with disabilities so they can access their education. It is created by a 504 committee which includes parents, teachers, and others to determine the individual needs of an eligible student and write a plan to address them. Accommodations under a 504 plan could include modifications to the classroom environment or teaching methods. The plan is reviewed periodically, usually annually, and can be terminated if the student is determined to no longer need accommodations to access their education. A 504 plan differs from an IEP in that it does not require specialized instruction for the student's needs.

    What Is a 504 Plan for Children With Special Needs?

    Parent Guide #15


    If your child has a physical or
    mental disability, she/he may be
    eligible for a 504 plan.

    What accommodations are


    considered appropriate under
    Section 504?

    Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act


    of 1973 is the civil rights law that does
    not allow discrimination on the basis
    of disability; and guarantees
    individuals with disabilities equal
    access to an education.

    What is a 504 plan?

    A 504 plan is a written plan


    created for students with
    disabilities who require support in
    order to be successful in the
    classroom.
    A 504 plan is not an Individualized
    Education Program (IEP) which
    requires more specialized
    instruction.

    An eligible person/student is any


    person who:
    has a physical or mental disability
    which limits a major life activity
    (such as learning, caring for
    oneself, performing manual tasks,
    walking, seeing, speaking, hearing
    and working); and has a record of
    such impairment; or
    is regarded as having such an
    impairment; and
    is birth to 26 years old, in the state
    of Michigan.

    Education in typical classroom


    settings.
    Education in typical classrooms
    with supplementary services,
    modifications and/or
    accommodations.
    Special education and related
    services.
    Any combination of the above.

    Parents, teachers, adult-aged


    students, other staff, or
    community agencies can request a
    review for Section 504 eligibility
    determination.

    Submit a written request to the


    school asking for an evaluation to
    determine if there is a significant
    impact on the childs learning
    and/or behavior.
    Request a copy of your schools
    policies and procedures on
    Section 504.
    A 504 committee could include
    parents, teachers, social workers,
    Section 504 coordinator, school
    psychologist, school administrator
    or others with knowledge of the
    child, the evaluations and the
    school resources.
    This committee determines student
    needs based on information
    gathered from a variety of sources.
    An accommodation plan is written
    to address the individual needs of
    the eligible student.
    Plans are reviewed periodically
    (generally on a yearly basis).

    UPDATED MAY 2013

    A plan may be terminated; once an


    evaluation has been completed and
    the 504 committee determines,
    based on the information gathered
    from a variety of sources, that the
    student no longer has a substantial
    limitation to a major life activity.
    504 plans and termination
    documentation become part of the
    students school records.

    Note: Students in Special Education


    are also covered by the protections of
    Section 504. For more information on
    the Rehabilitation Act of 1973,
