A 504 Plan is a school plan that describes accommodations for a student with a disability so the student can access education more fairly. It is commonly used in the United States under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.
What accommodations can look like
Accommodations may include extended time, seating changes, breaks, assistive technology, adjusted assignments, accessible materials, or health-related supports. The purpose is access, not lowering meaningful learning expectations.
504 Plan versus IEP
An IEP includes specially designed instruction for eligible special education students. A 504 Plan can support access without requiring the same special education structure.
The plan should match the student's documented needs and be reviewed when circumstances change.
