Section 504 and IDEA provide protections for students with disabilities. Section 504 prohibits discrimination against students with disabilities and requires accommodation plans, while IDEA provides special education services through IEPs. A child may be eligible for protections under Section 504 alone if their disability does not significantly impact their education, or they may qualify for both Section 504 and IDEA protections. The IEP team, which includes parents, teachers, and other specialists, works together to develop IEPs that provide educational benefits to students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment.
