School Counselors' Experiences with the Section 504 Process: "I Want to Be a Strong Team Member…[Not] a Case Manager"
Professional School Counseling, v23 n1 2019
In response to a gap in the literature and to inform school counseling practice, we conducted a phenomenological study of school counselors in five states and 10 school districts, examining their experiences with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 in pre-K--12 schools. Overall, school counselors communicated challenges in their involvement with the 504 process including four themes: (a) time-consuming coordination/management; (b) relational strain with teachers, students, and families; (c) lack of expertise in Section 504; and (d) ambiguity of the Section 504 process. We discuss implications for practicing school counselors, school leaders, and school counselor educators centered on increased education, support, and advocacy.
