The correct answer is: Serving as an advocate during Child Study Team and IEP meetings

An appropriate activity for a school counselor with regard to students' IEPs and/or IEP meetings is to serve as an advocate during Child Study Team and IEP meetings. This means supporting the student and their family during the process, providing information and resources, and ensuring the student's voice is heard in the decision-making process. Option A is typically the role of a special education teacher or case manager. Option B may be a responsibility of school administration. Option D is important but is not a direct interaction with students or families during the meeting.
