504 Accommodation Plans
CONCORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
CONCORD-CARLISLE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
Background:
 A legal document
 Rehabilitation Act of 1973 – a civil rights law to
protect people with disabilities by:
 eliminating barriers
 allowing full participation in education
 Designed for implementation of general education
modifications, to assist students with impairments
who are educated in the regular education setting.
 A 504 plan is not an Individualized Education
Program (IEP).
 A 504 plan is not special education.
Background (cont.)
 What Is the Purpose of Section 504?
 “Level the playing field”
 Eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities
 What Is the Difference Between Section 504 and
IDEA?
 IDEA - the provision of special education programs and
services (e.g., specialized instruction).
 504 Accommodations Plans are developed, implemented,
and reviewed by general educators.
Background (cont.)
 Provides:
 General education classroom accommodations
 Funding:
 Rehabilitation Act of 1973 does not provide any money for
programs and agencies.
 It carries the threat of withholding federal funds from
those that discriminate against students with disabilities.
Roles & Responsibilities: 504 Team
 The chairperson of the team is the school principal.
 The 504 Team:
 determines eligibility
 oversees the successful implementation of the 504
Accommodation Plan
 reviews the plan annually, and determines eligibility at least tri-
annually
 This team may be configured differently at each school
however, the team reviews the nature of the student's
impairment determining how it affects educational access.
 The team will include individuals knowledgeable about the
needs of the student, the data being reviewed, and
appropriate accommodation options.
 Special education administrators and faculty can have a
supportive role on the 504 team, however, 504’s are a function
of general education.
Roles & Responsibilities: 504 Team (cont.)
 504 Accommodation Plans are developed, implemented, and
reviewed by teachers and/or other school professionals.
 The responsibility does not belong to special education.
 Teachers and/or other school professionals must:
 participate in meetings
 supply pertinent data and documentation such as test scores,
discipline referrals, and anecdotal information to assist in the
writing of the plan
 are legally responsible to implement the designated
accommodations and/or strategies on the plan
 The classroom teacher and/or other professionals must
maintain regular and consistent documentation to display that
the school has attempted to implement the plan.
Legal Responsibility
 All school personnel are legally accountable for
implementing and providing accommodations to the
student as outlined in the 504 plan.
Eligibility
 Student must have a documented impairment that
substantially limits a major life activity.
 3 steps to determination:
 Does the student have an impairment?
 Does the student experience substantial limitation due to
the impairment?
 Does the substantial limitation impact a major life activity?
(i.e. caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks,
walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, working,
and learning.)
Eligibility: Impairment
 In order to qualify for a 504 Accommodation Plan the student must first have
a documented disability.
 May Include:
 Autism
 developmental delay
 intellectual impairment
 sensory impairment
 neurological impairment
 emotional disorder disabilities affecting behavioral controls
 communication disorder
 physical impairment
 specific learning disorder
 health impairments (including, but not limited to, ADD/ADHD, AIDS, tuberculosis,
asthma, epilepsy, leukemia, arthritis, cancer, and diabetes)
 Cerebral Palsy
 Tourette’s Syndrome
 Traumatic Brain Injury
 Pregnancy
Eligibility: Substantial Limitation
 A student must demonstrate substantial limitation to
qualify for a 504 Accommodation Plan.
 Unable to perform or are significantly restricted to perform
a major life activity
Eligibility: Substantial Limitation (cont.)
 No quantifiable standard given for “substantially
limits.
 consider more than the student's grades
 both academic and nonacademic activities to be
considered
 For example, if a student with diabetes is barred by the school
from participating in class trips because of the impairment, the
student's learning is "limited."
Eligibility: Temporary Limitation
 Students with a temporary disability may
demonstrate a physical impairment that substantially
limits a major life activity.
 The 504 team should determine whether the temporary
impairment substantially limits one or more major life
activities.
 That determination must be made on a case-by-case
basis, considering the nature, severity, duration or
expected duration and the permanent or long term impact
resulting from the impairment.
Eligibility: Major Life Activities
 Students with 504 Accommodations Plans have a
disability that impacts a major life activity.
 Major life activities may include:
 Caring for one’s self
 Performing manual tasks
 Walking
 Seeing
 Hearing
 Speaking
 Breathing
 Learning
 Working
 Eating
 Sleeping
 Standing
 Lifting
 Bending
 Reading
 Concentrating
 Thinking
 Communicating
Eligibility: Major Life Activities (cont.)
 A student does not need to have a disability limiting
learning to qualify for a 504 Accommodation Plan.
 Students may have a disability that in no way affects
their ability to learn, yet they may need extra help of
some kind to access learning.
 The phrase “major life activities” includes those basic
activities that the average person in the general
population can perform with little or no difficulty.
Eligibility Determination
 Establish whether or not the student has a qualifying
disability.
 Most often use current information gathered by CPS
and/or CCHS evaluators.
 Can use information from other sources, such as
classroom data or outside evaluations.
 If formally evaluated, we must have written parental
consent.
Eligibility Determination (cont.)
 Determination:
 Does the student have an impairment that substantially
limits one or more major life activities?
 Examine data in answering the following questions:
 Does the student have an impairment?
 Does the student experience substantial limitation to a major life
activity due to the impairment?
 Does the substantial limitation impact a major life activity?
 If the answer to all 3 questions is yes, then the student is
eligible for a 504 Accommodation Plan
Common Misuses
 A parent and/or doctor presents the school with a disability diagnosis and a
504 Accommodation Plan is written without first determining if the disability
causes significant impairment of a major life activity.
 A student is provided with a 504 Accommodation Plan solely because the
parent wants the student to have additional time on college qualifying
examinations (e.g. ACT, SAT).
 A student fails to qualify for special education support and is automatically
signed up for a 504 Accommodation Plan without first qualifying him or her
based on the Section 504 criteria.
 A student is automatically provided with a 504 Accommodation Plan when
the student no longer qualifies for special education services without first
qualifying him or her based on Section 504 criteria, which are different.
 A student is provided with a 504 Accommodation Plan as an alternative way
to receive special education services because the parent refuses to “label” a
student by including them in a special education program.
504 Accommodation Plan:
Review & Revision
 Annual basis or more frequently if needed
 The purpose of a review is to add, subtract and/or
modify student accommodations.
 Attendees:
 The student’s parents
 Student, if appropriate.
 General education teachers and/or other school
professionals attend this meeting and contribute
 Student may stay on a 504 Plan, move from a 504
Plan to an IEP, or have a 504 Plan discontinued.
Discontinuing Plan
 Review the student’s needs, conduct current evaluations,
and consider the three 504 eligibility criteria:
 A mental or physical impairment
 Which substantially limits one or more major life activities
 Requires accommodations
 Like active plans, a discontinued plan is kept in the
student cumulative file with notice of the discontinued
date.
 A 504 Plan will be discontinued when:
 a meeting is held
AND
 the student no longer requires the accommodation
Discontinuing Plan (cont.)
 The discontinuance of a 504 Plan does not require
parent signature and/or consent for the end of
accommodations.
 Parents must be provided with prior written notice for
the end date of 504 accommodations.
 A copy of the last 504 Plan with the end date should
be placed in the student’s record.
Parents' Rights
 Notice:
 Receive notice of actions regarding the identification,
evaluation and placement of their children.
 Consent
 There is no legal requirement for consent for implementation of
a plan.
 We do obtain written parental receipt of notification before
implementing a plan.
 Note: Schools need written parental consent prior to any formal
evaluation.
 Impartial Hearing
 Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE)
are authorized to hear and rule on Section 504 issues or
claims.
 Parents can contact the DESE to file a complaint or the BSEA
request a hearing.
Medical Interventions
 Students with health impairments, and other
disabilities, may require medical interventions at
school.
 If this is the case, the 504 Team includes the school
nurse.
 Regular, on-going medical care:
 Individualized Health Care Plan and/or an Emergency
Health Care Plan
 This is in addition to the 504, or in some cases, the 504
will refer to the Individualized Health Care Plan and/or an
Emergency Health Care Plan
Discipline
 Students with 504 Accommodation Plans hold
protections related to discipline.
 These students may not be removed from their
general education placement for more than 10 days
unless the 504 Team first makes a manifestation
determination.
 The 504 Team must determine that the behavior
resulting in the discipline was either directly a result
of or linked to the student’s handicapping condition
or not a manifestation of the identified disability.
Discipline (cont.)
 Removals for less than ten days can occur without
the 504 Team’s input.
 Note: A series of small removals (including teacher
removals to the office, hallway, or other classroom) over
the course of the school year that exceeds ten total
school days may constitute a pattern of exclusions and a
manifestation determination meeting is necessary.
 If a student with a 504 Accommodation Plan is found
using or possessing illegal drugs or alcohol, then the
school may apply the disciplinary action used with
typical students.

504 accommodation plans

  • 1. 504 Accommodation Plans CONCORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS CONCORD-CARLISLE REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
  • 2. Background:  A legal document  Rehabilitation Act of 1973 – a civil rights law to protect people with disabilities by:  eliminating barriers  allowing full participation in education  Designed for implementation of general education modifications, to assist students with impairments who are educated in the regular education setting.  A 504 plan is not an Individualized Education Program (IEP).  A 504 plan is not special education.
  • 3. Background (cont.)  What Is the Purpose of Section 504?  “Level the playing field”  Eliminate discrimination against persons with disabilities  What Is the Difference Between Section 504 and IDEA?  IDEA - the provision of special education programs and services (e.g., specialized instruction).  504 Accommodations Plans are developed, implemented, and reviewed by general educators.
  • 4. Background (cont.)  Provides:  General education classroom accommodations  Funding:  Rehabilitation Act of 1973 does not provide any money for programs and agencies.  It carries the threat of withholding federal funds from those that discriminate against students with disabilities.
  • 5. Roles & Responsibilities: 504 Team  The chairperson of the team is the school principal.  The 504 Team:  determines eligibility  oversees the successful implementation of the 504 Accommodation Plan  reviews the plan annually, and determines eligibility at least tri- annually  This team may be configured differently at each school however, the team reviews the nature of the student's impairment determining how it affects educational access.  The team will include individuals knowledgeable about the needs of the student, the data being reviewed, and appropriate accommodation options.  Special education administrators and faculty can have a supportive role on the 504 team, however, 504’s are a function of general education.
  • 6. Roles & Responsibilities: 504 Team (cont.)  504 Accommodation Plans are developed, implemented, and reviewed by teachers and/or other school professionals.  The responsibility does not belong to special education.  Teachers and/or other school professionals must:  participate in meetings  supply pertinent data and documentation such as test scores, discipline referrals, and anecdotal information to assist in the writing of the plan  are legally responsible to implement the designated accommodations and/or strategies on the plan  The classroom teacher and/or other professionals must maintain regular and consistent documentation to display that the school has attempted to implement the plan.
  • 7. Legal Responsibility  All school personnel are legally accountable for implementing and providing accommodations to the student as outlined in the 504 plan.
  • 8. Eligibility  Student must have a documented impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.  3 steps to determination:  Does the student have an impairment?  Does the student experience substantial limitation due to the impairment?  Does the substantial limitation impact a major life activity? (i.e. caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, working, and learning.)
  • 9. Eligibility: Impairment  In order to qualify for a 504 Accommodation Plan the student must first have a documented disability.  May Include:  Autism  developmental delay  intellectual impairment  sensory impairment  neurological impairment  emotional disorder disabilities affecting behavioral controls  communication disorder  physical impairment  specific learning disorder  health impairments (including, but not limited to, ADD/ADHD, AIDS, tuberculosis, asthma, epilepsy, leukemia, arthritis, cancer, and diabetes)  Cerebral Palsy  Tourette’s Syndrome  Traumatic Brain Injury  Pregnancy
  • 10. Eligibility: Substantial Limitation  A student must demonstrate substantial limitation to qualify for a 504 Accommodation Plan.  Unable to perform or are significantly restricted to perform a major life activity
  • 11. Eligibility: Substantial Limitation (cont.)  No quantifiable standard given for “substantially limits.  consider more than the student's grades  both academic and nonacademic activities to be considered  For example, if a student with diabetes is barred by the school from participating in class trips because of the impairment, the student's learning is "limited."
  • 12. Eligibility: Temporary Limitation  Students with a temporary disability may demonstrate a physical impairment that substantially limits a major life activity.  The 504 team should determine whether the temporary impairment substantially limits one or more major life activities.  That determination must be made on a case-by-case basis, considering the nature, severity, duration or expected duration and the permanent or long term impact resulting from the impairment.
  • 13. Eligibility: Major Life Activities  Students with 504 Accommodations Plans have a disability that impacts a major life activity.  Major life activities may include:  Caring for one’s self  Performing manual tasks  Walking  Seeing  Hearing  Speaking  Breathing  Learning  Working  Eating  Sleeping  Standing  Lifting  Bending  Reading  Concentrating  Thinking  Communicating
  • 14. Eligibility: Major Life Activities (cont.)  A student does not need to have a disability limiting learning to qualify for a 504 Accommodation Plan.  Students may have a disability that in no way affects their ability to learn, yet they may need extra help of some kind to access learning.  The phrase “major life activities” includes those basic activities that the average person in the general population can perform with little or no difficulty.
  • 15. Eligibility Determination  Establish whether or not the student has a qualifying disability.  Most often use current information gathered by CPS and/or CCHS evaluators.  Can use information from other sources, such as classroom data or outside evaluations.  If formally evaluated, we must have written parental consent.
  • 16. Eligibility Determination (cont.)  Determination:  Does the student have an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities?  Examine data in answering the following questions:  Does the student have an impairment?  Does the student experience substantial limitation to a major life activity due to the impairment?  Does the substantial limitation impact a major life activity?  If the answer to all 3 questions is yes, then the student is eligible for a 504 Accommodation Plan
  • 17. Common Misuses  A parent and/or doctor presents the school with a disability diagnosis and a 504 Accommodation Plan is written without first determining if the disability causes significant impairment of a major life activity.  A student is provided with a 504 Accommodation Plan solely because the parent wants the student to have additional time on college qualifying examinations (e.g. ACT, SAT).  A student fails to qualify for special education support and is automatically signed up for a 504 Accommodation Plan without first qualifying him or her based on the Section 504 criteria.  A student is automatically provided with a 504 Accommodation Plan when the student no longer qualifies for special education services without first qualifying him or her based on Section 504 criteria, which are different.  A student is provided with a 504 Accommodation Plan as an alternative way to receive special education services because the parent refuses to “label” a student by including them in a special education program.
  • 18. 504 Accommodation Plan: Review & Revision  Annual basis or more frequently if needed  The purpose of a review is to add, subtract and/or modify student accommodations.  Attendees:  The student’s parents  Student, if appropriate.  General education teachers and/or other school professionals attend this meeting and contribute  Student may stay on a 504 Plan, move from a 504 Plan to an IEP, or have a 504 Plan discontinued.
  • 19. Discontinuing Plan  Review the student’s needs, conduct current evaluations, and consider the three 504 eligibility criteria:  A mental or physical impairment  Which substantially limits one or more major life activities  Requires accommodations  Like active plans, a discontinued plan is kept in the student cumulative file with notice of the discontinued date.  A 504 Plan will be discontinued when:  a meeting is held AND  the student no longer requires the accommodation
  • 20. Discontinuing Plan (cont.)  The discontinuance of a 504 Plan does not require parent signature and/or consent for the end of accommodations.  Parents must be provided with prior written notice for the end date of 504 accommodations.  A copy of the last 504 Plan with the end date should be placed in the student’s record.
  • 21. Parents' Rights  Notice:  Receive notice of actions regarding the identification, evaluation and placement of their children.  Consent  There is no legal requirement for consent for implementation of a plan.  We do obtain written parental receipt of notification before implementing a plan.  Note: Schools need written parental consent prior to any formal evaluation.  Impartial Hearing  Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) are authorized to hear and rule on Section 504 issues or claims.  Parents can contact the DESE to file a complaint or the BSEA request a hearing.
  • 22. Medical Interventions  Students with health impairments, and other disabilities, may require medical interventions at school.  If this is the case, the 504 Team includes the school nurse.  Regular, on-going medical care:  Individualized Health Care Plan and/or an Emergency Health Care Plan  This is in addition to the 504, or in some cases, the 504 will refer to the Individualized Health Care Plan and/or an Emergency Health Care Plan
  • 23. Discipline  Students with 504 Accommodation Plans hold protections related to discipline.  These students may not be removed from their general education placement for more than 10 days unless the 504 Team first makes a manifestation determination.  The 504 Team must determine that the behavior resulting in the discipline was either directly a result of or linked to the student’s handicapping condition or not a manifestation of the identified disability.
  • 24. Discipline (cont.)  Removals for less than ten days can occur without the 504 Team’s input.  Note: A series of small removals (including teacher removals to the office, hallway, or other classroom) over the course of the school year that exceeds ten total school days may constitute a pattern of exclusions and a manifestation determination meeting is necessary.  If a student with a 504 Accommodation Plan is found using or possessing illegal drugs or alcohol, then the school may apply the disciplinary action used with typical students.
