Executive Summary
On January 24, 2013 the Office for Civil Rights issued a Dear Colleague Letter clarifying schoolsÂ'
obligations under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to provide extracurricular athletic opportunities for
students with disabilities. This Dear Colleague Letter provides a clear roadmap for interpreting the
guidance so that schools can better integrate students with disabilities into mainstream athletic
programsÂ--and create adapted programs for students with disabilities.
