The background of this accommodation is, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that any entity receiving federal funds has the responsibility to accommodate any handicapping condition of any participant in order for that participant to receive the services to the same beneficial level as other participants who are not handicapped. Documentation of the handicap is required. Not just anyone can claim to have a condition which handicaps them. They must have a doctor's statement or a statement from a professional which substantiates the condition. If the condition can be documented, the institution is required to do whatever is necessary to make the accommodation.
