Praxis School Counselor (5422) Practice Exam

Which of the following is an appropriate role for a school counselor in regard to working with students with Section 504 plans?

1. Coordinating meetings for 504 plans

2. Developing 504 plans, including accommodations

3. Identifying the strengths and challenges of students with disabilities

4. Providing weekly counseling services for students to help them improve social skills

The correct answer is: Identifying the strengths and challenges of students with disabilities

A is incorrect because the school counselor's role in relation to 504 plans is to coordinate and facilitate meetings, not solely coordinate them. B is incorrect because while the school counselor may assist in the development of 504 plans, this is typically done by a team of educators and specialists. D is incorrect because providing weekly counseling services is not a specific role for a school counselor in regard to working with students with 504 plans. The counselor's role is to support and advocate for these students, not solely provide counseling services.
