An individual with a disability is eligible for a 504 plan if:
**c. the disability significantly affects major life activities.**
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 defines a person with a disability as someone who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. This means that eligibility is based on the impact of the disability on the individual's ability to function in various aspects of life, not merely the nature of the disability or its duration.
