I have gain a deeper understanding about various ethical issues and how it impacts my future career. Students who are protected under Section 504 have ample resources that students to utilize for there educational growth.<br><br>In my personal perspective, I believe that the different laws that protect students with disabilities are required. Also from my point of view, I do not think that students would be getting enough assistance from the schools if these laws where not in place. The laws for students with disabilities have taken into place in the recent years and more have built upon, but there is still more room for growth when assisting 504 students.&nbsp;<br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>At a federal level the Civil Rights Act 1964 and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 are laws that protect the 504 students. If these acts were not made into law, several students would not be able to receive accommodations and modifications needed to succeed in their education. The U.S. Department of labor and employment are the agencies that oversee these acts.&nbsp; <br><br><a href="https://www.dol.gov/agencies/oasam/civil-rights-center/statutes/civil-rights-act-of-1964#:~:text=In%201964%2C%20Congress%20passed%20Public,hiring%2C%20promoting%2C%20and%20firing.">Civil Rights Act 1964</a><br>"The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Provisions of this civil rights act forbade discrimination on the basis of sex, as well as, race in hiring, promoting, and firing. The Act prohibited discrimination in public accommodations and federally funded programs." (U.S. Department of Labor, n.d, p.2). <br><br><a href="https://www.eeoc.gov/statutes/rehabilitation-act-1973">Rehabilitation Act of 1973</a><br>"Section 504 protects qualified individuals with disabilities. Under this law, individuals with disabilities are defined as persons with a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities" (Department of Health and Human Services, 2000, p.2).<br><br>After my research, I found these two acts must be implemented for accountability at a local, state, and federal level. Both acts work together to be able to service the needs of students with different needs. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>At a state level the Texas Education Agency assist by making sure that the needs of 504 student are supervised. TEA is a state agency that oversees public education. "The work of TEA and the entire public school system is driven by laws created by the Texas Legislature and the U.S. Congress and administrative rules adopted by the commissioner of education, the State Board of Education, and the State Board for Educator Certification" (Tex. Edu. Agency, n.d, p.5).&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The U.S. Department of Education provided new guidance on how to lawfully discipline students with disabilities to avoid discrimination.&nbsp;<br><br></div><pre>Reasonable modification-</pre><div>"Under Section 504, schools must make reasonable modifications to their criteria, policies, practices, or procedures when necessary to avoid discrimination on the basis of disability" (U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, pg.24).<br><br></div><pre>Responsibility to avoid discrimination- </pre><div>"School’s use of discipline could discriminate against students with disabilities under Section 504, namely, when: (1) the school subjects a student to unnecessary different treatment based on disability, or (2) the school’s criteria, policies, practices, or procedures have unjustified discriminatory effects on students based on disability" (U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, pg.27).<br><br></div><pre>Multiple bases or intersectional discrimination- </pre><div>"Some instances of intersectional discrimination may stem<br>from a decisionmaker acting upon stereotypes that are specific to a subgroup of individuals" (U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, pg.32).<br><br>These are risk management strategies to follow in order to follow the correct education provided for students that qualify under the 504 plan. If these strategies are not followed, not only would the staff of each school be breaking the law, but also the school district. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>In regards to students who qualify under section 504, I have witness that students are usually successful with this extra assistance give to them. As a future counselor, my role is to assist teacher and parents who suspect that their child needs further assistance in school. Once a student qualifies to receive 504 accommodations, the student is able to utilize these for the rest of their education. The counselor along side with the teacher and parent of the student meet yearly to discuss possible adjustments to the students 504 plan. A great advantages of the 504 meetings is that the parents or teacher does not have to wait a year to meet, they can request any accommodations as needed through the year. With out 504 accommodations a lot of students in school would have a difficult time to complete their assignments. Students who receive these modification or accommodations are able to succeed in school.  &nbsp;</div>]]></description>
