-Confusion about the role of counselor vs. special education
 --Who completes PGP?
--Who advises on correct course sequence, etc in the ARD if counselor doesn't attend
-- Who advises on college, career, military options if counselor is not directly advising the student (ex. in some LEAs, the special education case manager is given this role, yet has no training in course requirements, etc)
--Training for advising students with more significant disabilities - ie. those that take STAAR Alternate 2
--these students are still expected per IDEA to have postsecondary goals for postsecondary education/training - yet, there is not a lot of pre-training given to school staff to best understand how to do this
