What does Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ensure?

Exclusively educational services for severe disabilities
Civil rights protection and reasonable accommodations for disabled individuals
Funding for special education programs only
Support only for adults with disabilities

The correct answer is: Civil rights protection and reasonable accommodations for disabled individuals

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in programs and activities, including education, that receive federal financial assistance. The key aspect of Section 504 is that it ensures individuals with disabilities are provided with reasonable accommodations and modifications to access the same services, opportunities, and benefits as those without disabilities. This means that schools and other entities must tailor their environments to meet the needs of students with disabilities, thereby promoting equality and inclusion. The focus of this law is on civil rights protection rather than solely educational services or funding, which is why it emphasizes the need for accessibility and appropriate support across various sectors, including education and beyond.
