Section .14
CIVIL RIGHTS
All facilities licensed under the Child Care Act are subject to the non-discrimination provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended and its implementing regulation, Title 45 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part 80; the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 as amended and its implementing regulation, Title 45 CFR, part 91; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended and its implementing regulation, Title 45 CFR, Part 84.
All facilities licensed under the Child Care Act are also subject to Titles I through V of the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended and its implementing regulation, Title 29 CFR, part 1630. Decisions related to the enrollment, placement, or dismissal of a child with a disability or chronic condition must be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The facility must provide reasonable accommodations for the child with a disability who has special needs.
A lack of independent ambulation or the need for assistance in feeding, toileting, or dressing or in other areas of self care cannot be used as sole criteria for enrollment or placement or denial of enrollment or denial of placement. Efforts must be made to accommodate the child's needs and to integrate the child with his/her peers who do not have disabilities.
