An individual with a disability is eligible for a 504 plan when **the disability significantly affects major life activities**.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 provides protections for individuals with disabilities by ensuring they have equal access to education and other services. To qualify for a 504 plan, a student must have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, such as learning, walking, or communicating.
The other options provided do not determine eligibility:
- Turning 16 years old is not a criterion for eligibility.
- A disability that lasts less than 6 months generally would not qualify for a 504 plan, as the impairment should be long-term.
- A disability does not need to be a physical disability; it can also be a mental disability as long as it limits major life activities.
