To whom does Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act apply?

Individuals experiencing financial hardships
Individuals with disabilities
Individuals failing academic courses
Individuals from low-income families

The correct answer is: Individuals with disabilities

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act specifically applies to individuals with disabilities. This legislation is designed to protect the rights of these individuals, ensuring they are not discriminated against in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. It mandates that reasonable accommodations be provided to ensure that persons with disabilities have equal access to education, employment, and other services. The act defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. The focus here is on providing equal opportunities and preventing discrimination based on one's disability status. Understanding this scope is crucial for educators and administrators in developing inclusive environments and making necessary adjustments or supports for those who qualify under this law. The other choices do not align with the intent and focus of Section 504, which is uniquely centered on the rights and needs of individuals with disabilities.
