Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 has been with us for many years. Included in the U.S. Department of Education regulations for Section 504 is the requirement that students with disabilities be provided with a free appropriate public education (FAPE). These regulations require identification, evaluation, and provision of appropriate services and procedural safeguards.
