If you’d like to receive our Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504, and IDEA bonuses, please visit http://tensigma.org/episode19bonus • There are several important disability laws that protect students and adults who have a disability. In our Transition Tuesday video, we explain the importance of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504, and IDEA 2004. Here a brief summary of each of these important laws to help you understand the rights and accommodations that each law provides. • The Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990 is a civil rights law designed to prohibit discrimination on the basis of having a disability in the areas of employment, public services, and accommodations. The law protects individuals with a disability who have a physical or mental disability that limits one or more of life’s activities or people who have a record impairment. It is important to note that the person must be qualified for the program, service, or job. This law also applies to any part of a special education program that is community based and requires that reasonable accommodations be made to help people with a disability to perform essential functions of a job. • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is also a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of a person having a disability. Like the ADA, Section 504 protects anyone with a disability that impairs one or more major life activities. Section 504 also prohibits discrimination in any program that receives federal funding. Unlike ADA, Section 504 requires and evaluation for eligibility and gathers information about the person from a variety of sources. This law also provides a 504 plan for eligible students and mandates that students with disabilities have a right to free public education in the least restrictive environment for the student. • The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act provides federal assistance to state and local education agencies to guarantee that special education services are provided to eligible children with disabilities. This disability law requires that public schools identify and evaluate students who are suspecting of having a disability at no cost to the parents. This also applies to all children who meet the eligibility requirements in one or more of the 13 specific disability categories and who need specializes instruction. IDEA also requires that students who are eligible for special education services have an Individualized Education Program (I.E.P.) and there are due process for resolving disagreements between the parents and the school. • As part of the bonuses for this episode of Transition Tuesday, Ten Sigma is sharing some resources including two website links that explain more about the similarities and differences between these important laws. • To learn more about educational resources for teachers or parents, please visit our website http://tensigma.org and you can also connect with us on Facebook at / ten-sigma-1572734446323526 • If you know anyone else who would benefit from the information we share in these videos, please share this video or send them to http://transitiontuesday.org so they can access to our weekly trainings and bonus resources. • We hope you use this information and bonus resources on the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504, and IDEA 2004.
