Rehabilitation Act's Section 504 ensures what for students with disabilities?

• A. They are guaranteed inclusive settings
• B. They must be included in regular classrooms
• C. They receive free public education
• D. No discrimination in programs receiving federal financial assistance

Answer: (D)

Section 504 centers on preventing discrimination against students with disabilities in any program or activity that receives federal funds, including public schools. The important idea is equal access: schools must provide reasonable accommodations and supports so a student can participate fully in classes and activities. This nondiscrimination requirement is the core protection 504 offers.

That’s why the best description is that there is no discrimination in programs receiving federal financial assistance. The other statements mix in placement decisions or funding entitlements that are governed by different laws or provisions, and aren’t the fundamental protection that Section 504 provides.
