IDEA is a children's law, designed to provide equal opportunities and a free and appropriate education in the public school system. Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act was Congress's first attempt at a national civil rights law, including some protection of the rights of students with disabilities to public education–like IDEA later–and requires accommodations for people with disabilities–like ADA later. However, nearly 20 years after it passed the Vocational Rehabilitation Act, Congress took stronger measures and passed ADA, which bars discrimination in employment, transportation, public accommodations, and telecommunications. ADA supports and extends Section 504, guaranteeing access to all aspects of life, and removal of barriers. Both Section 504 and ADA are considered civil rights and antidiscrimination laws and have broader definitions of disabilities than IDEA. They guarantee the right to accommodations even for those who do not need special education services and to those beyond school age.
