ERIC EJ886151: School Counselors’ Attitudes towards Providing

More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Questions have arisen regarding counselor’s capabilities in assisting students with special needs (Milsom & Akos, 2003; Studer & Quigney, 2005). This study examined school counselors’ training and attitudes toward providing services to students with learning disabilities who qualified for services only under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The results indicated that although counselors strongly support providing services to students with special needs, those who lack educational experience reported feeling unprepared to implement specialized services. These findings suggest that school counselors would benefit from additional training when counseling students with learning disabilities. Implications for school counselor educators are provided.
