-
Section 504 is a federal law that prohibits any entity that receives federal financial assistance (such as grants or student loans) from discriminating against persons with disabilities and requires the needs of students with disabilities to be met as adequately as the needs of that of non–disabled students. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits state and local governments (such as public school districts, public colleges and universities, and public libraries) from discriminating against persons with disabilities.
