Scenarios about 'section 504'
Section 504 refers to a provision of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in programs receiving federal financial assistance. This landmark civil rights legislation established protections for disabled Americans in education, employment, and public services, laying groundwork for subsequent disability rights laws.
