Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Americans with Disability Act, Section 504 provides individuals with disabilities, including those with anxiety disorders, the right to accommodations in public schools. IDEIA provides additional protections for students with disabilities, but Section 504 is the most appropriate law for Nina's situation. NCLB does not address individual disability rights. The fourth choice, None, is incorrect because individuals with disabilities, including anxiety disorders, are entitled to accommodations under certain laws.
