<br />Section 504 prohibitions against discrimination (see 45 C.F.R. part 84) apply to service availability, accessibility,
<br />delivery, employment, and the administrative activities and responsibilities of organizations receiving Federal financial
<br />assistance. A recipient of Federal financial assistance may not, on the basis of disability:

<br />architectural standards in the new construction and alteration of their buildings. They also must relocate programs or
<br />otherwise provide access in inaccessible older buildings, and communicate effectively with people who have hearing,
<br />vision, or speech disabilities.
