504 Plans

A 504 Plan is an educational tool designed to support students with disabilities or special needs, ensuring they have equal access to learning. It is part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which mandates that schools provide appropriate accommodations for students to succeed in a general education setting. These accommodations might include modified teaching methods, additional time for assignments, or assistive technology. The goal of a 504 Plan is to help students overcome challenges posed by their disabilities, enabling them to participate fully in their education alongside their peers.
