Which statement is true about accommodations under ADAAA and 504 in terms of funding?

• A. They provide funding for accommodations
• B. They do not provide funding
• C. Only ADAAA provides funding
• D. Only 504 provides funding

Answer: (B)

The essential idea is that these laws create rights and ensure access, not money. ADA Amendments Act and Section 504 require programs to provide reasonable accommodations so people with disabilities can participate, but they do not supply a funding stream for those accommodations. In practice, the district or institution must cover the costs of necessary supports and adjustments from its own budget or other funding sources as part of fulfilling the obligation to provide equal access. So while accommodations must be provided, the statutes themselves do not provide funding.
