Can an adult have a 504 plan?

I used to work in special education as a paraeducator. If I remember correctly a 504 plan was used when the student needed help but didn't qualify under the testing procedures as having a specific learning disability. Are you asking this question for a student that is an adult and still in the public school system?

Deedee is correct that is exactly what a 504 plan is.

To answer your question, no adults cannot have a 504 plan, but can have accomadations that are outlined on their plan avaliable when in college. So- if on your 504 plan you can take extended time to complete a test- then in college you can get that extended time. BUT it is the student's responsibility to advocate for the accomadations.

504 plans in school do not cross over to the workforce though.
