A student identified as disabled under Section 504 may be eligible for services/accommodations if he or she has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits learning or another major life activity.   

Any student identified as disabled under Section 504 is ensured equal opportunities for participation in academic, non-academic and/or extracurricular activities, and preschool and adult education programs.
