Example Response (Response Needs to be writen just like the response below No copying)
RISE Feedback:
REFLECT: I concur with “Action plans should reflect the type of services that are needed and have an idea of the expected outcome of the services” because it is in line with Hatch and Hartline’s intentional school counseling guidelines in regards to determining students needs.
INQUIRE: Can you further explain what “closing-the-gap action plans” are?
SUGGEST: I encourage you to revisit Hatch and Hartline’s MTMDSS tier interventions in order to add a citation that would illustrate your example on bullying prevention efforts.
ELEVATE: What if you re-purposed “For example, after a needs assessment, the school is having problems with bullying” as “Following Trish Hatch’s MTMDSS tier based interventions, if the school is having problems with bullying, after a needs assessment, we could… citation…” for a more weighted argument?

- What program funding is available? Financial Aid?
While reading the provided resource for this week, I learned about the following financial aid options for students with disabilities: “Federal Pell Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants and the Federal Work-Study program” (Patton, 2019). There are also additional funds for students participating in Transition Postsecondary Education Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) that allow these students to be provided with additional resources that can help them be successful.
- Pick two (2) ways School Counselors are important advocates and how you see yourself in the role using a similar approach.
As stated in the provided resource, school counselors can connect students with resources that will allow them to receive accommodations in college. School counselors can also encourage students to research their post-secondary options such as financial aid available specifically for students with disabilities.
When I am a school counselor, I would love to create a college planning Google website for students on my caseload. This website can be a one-stop shop for students who need to connect with resources for post-secondary planning. I would have a section specifically for students with disabilities to learn more information about funding that is available for them, and so that they can know that they can still receive accommodations in college. I remember at my mom’s former district, a school counselor incorrectly told her class of IEP students that they will not be able to receive accommodations in college. This simply is not the truth! Due to my own disability, I was able to receive several accommodations in college that helped me be successful when I was completing my BA. However, I had no idea that I could receive accommodations until I was in my sophomore year of college. I wish that my high school counselor had helped me advocate for myself so that I could have received these accommodations even earlier. Luckily, my college counselor was able to connect me with the right resources. I hope to be this connection for my students.

- What program funding is available? Financial Aid?
The North Dakota School Counselor article was very informative. Although this information counselors ought to know. This is a clear set of resources one can always have handy when counseling students with Disabilities that may think they are not suitable to pursue higher education due to their disabilities.
Since 2008, The Transition Postsecondary Education Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSID) has supported 48 colleges and universities that serve 1,500 students with disabilities. The program helps students that want to continue their education, have independent living instructions, that prepares them for employment. Programs can be degree-granted or certificate, or even not certificate programs . The do require4d the student with disabilities to be enrolled in regular classes (with non-disabled students) for half of the program The think program (a national coordinating center for TPSID programs, provides support, coordination, and evaluation services for 270 colleges programs for students with disabilities. It is accessible for students and parents to learn about the programs available for students with autism, intellectual disabilities, and other disabilities (Postsecondary Options for Students with Disabilities – American School Counselor Association (ASCA) 2019). .
The types of financial aid offered to students with disabilities that opt to participate in TPSID programs are Federal Pel Grants, Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants and the Federal Work-Study program. Tuition waver though vocational rehabilitation agencies and community colleges. Students in TPSID programs can be eligible for individual training account funds set aside by the One-/stop Career Centers, Plans for Achieving Self Sufficient from Social Security and Medicaid (Postsecondary Options for Students with Disabilities – American School Counselor Association (ASCA) 2019). .
Students with other disabilities such as students with IEP are eligible to receive same accommodation as they received in high school. All colleges that receive federal funding must have department of disability services that have access to instructional technology, tutoring, and social support, and testing accommodations (Postsecondary Options for Students with Disabilities – American School Counselor Association (ASCA) 2019). .

Based on this article, in spite of the availability of resources these programs are not exploited enough for lack of information about the existence of these programs.
Based on the above, I believe that the best way to advocate is to invite universities with TPSID programs and a representative from the disability services department from colleges to talk about options and supports they provide. And, do a districtwide transition for specially for student with disabilities. But, most importantly I believe is to educate students and parents about their rights and protections.
