2. 504 Plan2. 504 Plan What is a 504 Plan?• 504 plans provide simple interventions for
students in regular education environments. Examples of the uses of 504 plans are interventions such as an allowance for a "fidget toy" for children with ADHD in the classroom setting, test modifications, such as extended time, break time in the middle of class, and preferential seating. The 504 Plan is approved or disapproved primarily by the Principal and sometimes the Special Education Coordinator at a school.
2. 504 Plan2. 504 Plan • A 504 student must have a physical or mental
impairment that limits one or more major life activities and is not covered by IDEA. • HIV and AIDS, alcohol abuse, substance abuse,
asthma, and diabetes.• No mandated components.• Not as strong as an IEP• Viewed more as a “should do” versus a “must do”
• Law itself• “No otherwise qualified individual…shall, solely by
reason of his or her disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance”
