A qualified person under Section 504 covers a broader population than the definition of a child with a disability under IDEA (special education). A qualified individual under Section 504 is any person who meets one or more of the following criteria:
♦ Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
♦ Has a record of such an impairment.
♦ Is regarded as having such an impairment.
