FEDERAL LAWS AND SERVICES FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES:

Several federal laws address accessibility and protect the rights of persons with disabilities. These include the following:

  • Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (1973) requires all employers and organizations receiving federal assistanceÑincluding most universitiesÑto provide people with disabilities equal access to information, programs, activities, and services.

  • The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) (1990) applies the same general principle as Section 504Ñequal opportunity to participate in programs and servicesÑbut extends the reach to private organizations and any state or local entities not covered under Section 504.

  • The 1998 Amendment to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act does not directly apply to universities, but it does mandate specific conditions for Internet and Web accessibility that are used as guidelines in designing and creating federal agency Web sites.
