A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized trial compares an advocacy training course delivered online to a waitlist control in adults and youths who have or care for someone with a K-12 Section 504 plan. Participants attend a 6-week, 1.5-hour weekly class and complete surveys before, during, and after the program to measure changes in advocacy, knowledge, and perceived access to higher-quality 504 plans. The study uses a waitlist-control design to identify differences between those who receive the training immediately and those who do not. The primary aim is to determine whether education and empowerment about Section 504 can improve access and quality of services for students. Enrollment is nationwide via Zoom, led by Vanderbilt University.
