Implications of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs run by federal agencies, programs that receive federal financial assistance, federal employment and employment of federal contractors (government, 2016). Schools fall into the category of receiving federal financial assistance. With that being said, accommodations need to be made for those students that fall into the category of 504. The curriculum will be impacted by adapting or modifying the curriculum to help the student succeed in the classroom.

Students will have access to elevators, private rooms to take tests and students will have access to the resource room where they may work on class work with a teacher. The school needs to have employers that will be working in these areas and are certified to work in these areas. Special education teachers and paraprofessionals will be working with the resource room and the testing rooms. Paraprofessionals should be riding with the students in elevators and monitoring students in areas of the building where supervision is low. Hiring staff to work in these areas is a must for a school principal. One of the impacts of South High’s principal is to the curriculum.

Educators must be trained in preparing activities and creating a proper learning environment for students with disabilities. New educators will have to be hired based on the demands of the 504 student needs. This year at South High 3 new paraprofessionals need to be hired due to the needs of 3 new students that entered the school.

Students with an IEP may have accommodations that require a least restrictive classroom to complete quizzes or test.

These programs and curricular changes must be followed by everyone to allow the student to be successful in the learning environment.
