Disability discrimination means denying students with disabilities equal access to educational programs as students who do not have disabilities. This can include: 

1. Denying admission to a student because of a disability; 
2. Denying an equal opportunity to participate in the school’s programs; 
3. Denying reasonable accommodations; 
4. Subjecting a student with a disability to different standards and requirements; 
5. Providing a student with a disability an aid or benefit that is not as effective as that provided to others; 
6. Providing a student with a disability with a different or separate program, unless doing so is necessary to ensure their equal participation in the program.
