overcome the effects of discrimination in violation of section 504 or

participants in the program but who were participants in the program 

when such discrimination occurred or

participants in the program had the discrimination not occurred.

effects of conditions that resulted in limited participation in the 

recipient's program or activity by qualified individuals with handicaps.
