Legal Basis
Section 504 of the 1973 RehabilitationAct
“No otherwise qualified person with a disabilityshall , solely on the basis of disability, bedenied the benefits of, be excluded fromparticipation, or be subjected todiscrimination under any program oractivity receiving federal financialassistance”
The Americans with
Disabilities Act
Civil rights legislation which
reaffirms the 504 regulations and
brings new attention to disability
issues and the rights of people with
disabilities
Section 504 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with
Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities. These
laws require universities to provide reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals
with a disability to ensure their equal access and participation in services, programs, and
activities offered by universities. Reasonable accommodation encompasses both physical
access and academic modifications for those individuals with identified and documented
disabilities to enhance their capacity to perform to the best of their ability.
The US definition of disability encompasses a person who has a physical or mental
impairment that substantially limits one or more of such person’s major life activities
(functions such as caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing,
speaking, breathing, learning and working), has a history of such impairment, or is regarded as
having such impairment.
Specific types of disability include:
* Physical (affecting the body)
* Psychiatric (affecting the mind)
* Sensory (affecting seeing or hearing)
* Cognitive (affecting learning and understanding)
To provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with physical, learning or psychological
disabilities.
Reasonable accommodation means
(a) any reasonable modification of the institution’s rules, policies or practices;
(b) auxiliary aids and services, and/or
(c) environmental adjustments, such as the removal of architectural or communicative barriers.
