Section 504 Home Programs Section 504 What is Section 504? Section 504 is the part of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 which applies to persons with disabilities. Section 504 is a civil rights act which protects the civil and constitutional rights of persons with disabilities. Section 504 and special education are two separate services.

Historical Background Individuals with Disabilities Education Act - (IDEA) : Schools are committed to compliance with special education regulations. Rehabilitation act of 1973: Congress required that school districts make their programs and activities accessible and usable to all individuals with disabilities. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: implemented by Congress in 1977. Office for Civil Rights (OCR): assists school districts in further defining "access". The definition of access means more than physical access; a student may require special accomodations such as modified assignments in order to benefit from their education. 504 Eligibility Criteria Section 504 protects persons from discrimination based upon their disability status.

StateNotes Special Education 700 Broadway, Suite 1200 Denver, CO 80203-3460 Fax: 303.296.8332 www.ecs.org State Efforts Regarding Teacher Preparation, Certification, Recruitment and Retention October 2003 The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 (IDEA) took bold steps toward ensuring children with disabilities receive the free and appropriate public education to which they are entitled. One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA ’97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the “maximum extent practicable.” As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. Teacher Preparation and Certification Special Education Training for General Education Teachers How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS’ Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.

Metro Santa Cruz MetroActive Central Archives Disabled by Law Robert Scheer Speak No Evil: Ryan Jones couldn't find a place in the Santa Cruz school system, despite a law guaranteeing his right to a public education. More than 20 years ago, Congress passed sweeping legislation to protect the civil rights of disabled children by guaranteeing them an education. California still hasn't gotten around to enforcing it. By Kelly Luker I T IS THE MIDDLE OF A SCHOOL DAY, but 9-year-old Ryan Jones is at home, showing his visitor a collection of Star Wars memorabilia. Unable to speak because of a stroke suffered at birth, the bright-eyed youngster points excitedly to miniatures of Darth Vader and R2D2 as his mother Karen smiles and looks on. The tender scene belies the controversy around this mother and her disabled son. Ryan is not playing hookyKaren Jones pulled her child out of school, disgusted with school officials' failure to give him what he needs to get an education. After two years, numerous meetings involving several attorneys and, finally, a formal civil rights complaint, it doesn't look like Ryan Jones will be back in school anytime soon. The story behind Ryan's and Karen's fight can be traced back more than a decade before Ryan was born. A federal law known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was passed in 1975, requiring that children with special needs be taught alongside other school children "whenever possible" in the "least restrictive environment." It is these two phrases that have become a sticking point between Santa Cruz County educators and parents of disabled kids. These parents, including Karen Jones, have joined together to file a complaint with the Civil Rights Office at the U.S. Department of Education.

Enter keyword: Volume XI Summer 2000 Issue #4 Specializing education to meet the student's needs By Marjane Ambler When we were growing up in the 1950s, my brother learned to hate school. We never knew exactly what killed his eagerness and turned school into torture for him. It didn't help that his two older sisters were "A" students with more standard learning styles. The school system ignored his special talents and attributes, and teachers thought, "Why aren't you like your sisters?" No doubt he had a teacher or two who empathized with him, but at that time, there were no institutionalized mechanisms for dealing with students who were different. My mother would drive the streets of our middle class, suburban neighborhood to find him, crying in the bushes. As I worked on this issue on special education, I thought of my brother as I read Dr. Paul Dauphinais's article about the Turtle Mountain Reservation schools. A school psychologist and a member of the Turtle Mountain Ojibwe Band, Dauphinais discusses children who arrive excited to learn and asks, "What happens to that excitement? How do schools extinguish the love of learning?" Unfortunately, my brother never encountered a teacher like Kay McCord. She learned from her students how to re-ignite their natural curiosity and creativity. She and her students worked cooperatively together, relying upon educational methods that were more natural to the American Indian students in her classroom and which, in fact, she would have preferred in her own non-Indian schooling. In her article in this issue, she describes James, a third grader on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation who refused to pick up a pencil. After they began using computers to integrate the children's interests and culture, his attitude completely changed. He became one of the most creative children in the class, writing and recording stories, recording the pronunciation of his Indian name. His stories reveal his enthusiasm: "I like to do work, play, do book reports. I like to color and play hide and go seek. I like going to school. I am going to write a book of dinosaur tales."
