    Can an adult get a 504 plan?
    Can an adult get a 504 plan? A teacher friend of mind has high blood pressure which has proven to be drug resistant. Can she get a 504 plan requiring that she not be given a certain non-teaching duty that she presently has. This is a stressful duty that her doctor does not want her to continue doing.

    A 504 plan is basically a plan for mainstreaming students who were previously in special education. So I don't see how that applies here at all.

    If her doctor can certify that she is unable to perform the duties of her current job, she can apply for a different position or maybe get disability.

    gophers1 disagrees: If the school receives federal funding of any kind, section 504 applies.


    Can you expand on this further? According to my research Section 504 is a part of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, used to make sure that a disabled person can participate in federally funded programs. Its primarily geared towards making sure that disabled students can get schooled. So I really don't see how this can be applied towards preventing someone from being given certain duties.

    Right, this has been posted before - I don't recall that the protection extends to employees. I thought it pretty much made all students equal.

    I'd be curious to see the quote.
