Section 504 Plan


ABOUT OUR 504 Plans

A Section 504 Plan is designed to provide students with disabilities the support they need to fully access their education. Under federal law (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973), students who have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities may be eligible for accommodations.

504 Plans outline strategies, supports, and accommodations within the general education setting to ensure equal access to learning. These plans are not special education programs but are intended to remove barriers so that students can participate alongside their peers.

If you believe your child may be eligible for a 504 Plan, please contact info@achieversecp.org for more information about the referral and evaluation process.
