Section 504/ADA: Guidelines for Educators and Administrators. Revised.
Utah State Office of Education, Salt Lake City.
This document presents the Utah State Department of Education's guidelines to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The guidelines specifically address Subparts D and E of the regulations for Section 504, which deal with education. An introduction offers examples of discriminatory acts by school systems against individuals with disabilities and is followed by a list of acronyms and definitions. An overview of Section 504 summarizes each subpart and charts responsibilities under the law of various individuals and groups. The next section compares Section 504, the ADA, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Eight procedural requirements under the law are then explained. Guidelines for determining eligibility and services are then detailed and include indicators for considering possible accommodations and/or services and the process for service determination. A section on accommodations and services lists strategies under the following categories: environmental, organizational, behavioral, presentation, methodology, and curriculum. A list of 100 effective accommodations and services precedes examples of accommodations for 18 specific disabilities. Twenty common questions and answers conclude the guide. Appendices include the text of Section 504 and regulations, sample forms, and important Office of Civil Rights policy letters. (DB)
