Accessibility

A hallmark of compliance with disability laws in education is ensuring schools provide accessible education programs, services and facilities to individuals with disabilities. Section 504 Solutions assists in the review of physical facilities for accessibility as well as electronic/website access for individuals with disabilities.

Civil Rights Data Collection and Compliance

Accurate data collection is critical to demonstrating compliance with disability laws. The Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) is the largest national data collection conducted by the U.S. Department of Education and all public schools are required to participate. Inaccurate data gathering, poor data collection practices, lack of solid policies related to data can have a variety of negative impacts on schools. Section 504 Solutions provides training, policy reviews and direct guidance on CRDC compliance and reporting.

Policies & Procedures

A school’s response to accusations of disability discrimination begins with strong, well-worded policies and procedures. Section 504 Solutions drafts the full spectrum of policies and procedures and conducts reviews of procedural safeguards, policies, procedures, internal and external manuals and grievance procedures related to disability laws in schools at clients’ request.

Non-Discrimination

Section 504 Solutions provides training and response assistance to complaints of discrimination on the basis of disability. Disability discrimination can include denial of a FAPE, failure to evaluate or identify a student with a disability, different treatment, unlawful restraint and/or seclusion, hostile environment and retaliation.
