Right,

Section 504 states that instructional and administrative materials must be available to students in a timely manner, ideally as the same as other students and that they need to be in a format that is accessible to the student.

There is not specific reference to the web, since the law was passed in 1972, but it can be used by students in OCR cases as the basis of a complaint about in accessible web resources.
