Which plan provides accommodations for students with disabilities under a civil rights law and is separate from IDEA-eligible services?

• A. Section 504 Plan
• B. IEP
• C. IEE
• D. IEA

Answer: (A)

Accommodations for students with disabilities under civil rights law come from Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which ensures equal access to education. A Section 504 Plan specifies the accommodations and supports a student needs to participate in the general education environment, such as extended time on tests, preferred seating, or assistive technology. This is different from IDEA-eligible services, which require specialized instruction and are outlined in an Individualized Education Program that provides more intensive supports. An independent educational evaluation is an assessment used to determine needs, not a plan. IEA isn’t a standard term for this purpose.
