What is a 504 plan?

A 504 plan is designed to make sure students with disabilities have the support they need to fully participate in school. It’s named after Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and is meant for students who may not qualify for special education but still need some extra help.

This plan can include things like:

• Extra time on tests

• Special seating arrangements

• Access to tools or technology that make learning easier

504 plans are for students whose disabilities impact daily activities and access to education but don’t require specialized instruction.

At Shefter Law, we help families understand how 504 plans work and make sure their child’s needs are fully supported. We guide parents through the process to ensure their child has fair access to all educational opportunities.
