Defining the Handicapped: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Turney, Harriet L.

University of Dayton Law Review, v3 n2 p391-404 Sum 1978

Numerous interpretation problems currently exist in the statutory and regulatory definition of "handicapped individual." The three-part definition as set forth in section 504 of the 1974 amendments is analyzed, and potential sources of controversy are identified in each section. Possible applications of such a broad definition are discussed. (AF)
