[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a Gen Ed teacher, I don’t feel qualified to do that. As a parent of a kid with a 504, I don’t want an unqualified person managing my child’s case.[/quote] Counselors aren’t qualified to case manage either. It’s an “other duty as assigned” that was thrown at counselors years ago when 504s were far less complex than they are now. The problem is that there’s no funding allocated for section 504, it’s a civil rights law that schools are expected to comply with. 504s should be case managed by special educators because they’re the ones with the real training in how to determine which specific accommodations are best for individual students, but that would require funding, and schools aren’t allocated funds to comply with section 504 as they are with IDEA.
