What is granted to him under Section 504?

Section 504 covers a lot of the same things as IDEA does but after Garth graduated from high school he was then covered by Section 504 because of the ages included. Garth is covered by Section 504 because his disabilites fall under what is covered by Section 504, the act defines who are covered as "any person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits, one or more of such person's major life activities, has a record of such and impairment or is regarded as having such an impairment." Garth has a mental impairment that limits his life activities so he is covered.
Garth receives many things through his 504 Plan, for example he is able to receive accommodations and modifications in his work and because he works for a company funded by the government and they cannot discriminate against him it helped him to get hired.
The thing that it helped the most was is that he was granted accommodations and modifications so that he was able to perform the job and do it to the best of his abilities. This plan is what made it possible for him to be able to continue to find success and be able to do amazing things after he graduated. For some students this plan is used to help them be able to progress and go to college but for some people it is helpful to help them to get jobs and help them succeed in that way, but either way Section 504 helps students to continue to progress and find success.
