Name one of the similarities among IDEA and Section 504 and one difference between them.

What will be an ideal response?


Section 504 is not a special education law, unlike IDEA. People never “age out” of 504 like they do with IDEA. Section 504 is a civil rights statute, while IDEA is a funding statute. Both 504 and IDEA determine which individuals have disabilities, provide FAPE, and offer some procedural safeguards. Both laws provide a free and appropriate public education to eligible students with disabilities.
