Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act prohibits discrimination against any individuals with disabilities by public schools receiving federal financial assistance. These same obligations are required by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

For many years, the main area of enforcement of Section 504 has been employment issues for individuals with disabilities. However, within the last several years, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has become more active in the provisions of Section 504 regarding the education of students with disabilities.
