Which of the following activities is within the scope of the school counselor's role under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA, 2004)?

While the school counselor may have input in discussions regarding Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), the responsibility of serving as the school district representative typically falls to a designated administrator or special education coordinator. This role requires specific authority and knowledge regarding district policies and resources that the counselor may not possess.

Supervisory roles regarding the implementation of IDEA regulations are generally assigned to special education directors or administrators who have the authority to oversee compliance and staff training. The school counselor's primary focus is on direct student support rather than administrative oversight of regulatory implementation.

Writing and supervising Section 504 plans is typically a responsibility assigned to specific staff, such as special education teachers or coordinators. Although school counselors can contribute to the development of these plans, they do not usually hold the primary responsibility for writing or overseeing their implementation.
