Abstract
With federal mandates such as Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (1973), IDEA (1997) and its 2004 reauthorization, districts have charged school counselors with the educational success of students, including students with disabilities. Learn about the school counselor’s role and the challenges faced when working with this population. This presentation will explore the importance of recognizing the multiple intersectionalities of an individual's identity with connections to advocating for students and families in navigating systemic barriers.
