Keep good notes. Write down all the ideas that the counselor suggested. Be ready to take notes and record all the things that the school suggests at meetings.

Sadly my experience is that the more 'special effort' the school has to put in - well meaning as they are - the less actually happens.

Also - things may go well, but if you end up back in the same position next year, you want to be able to document what was suggested, what was tried, and what the result was.

Also - take a look at this thread. It's about anxiety, but I think that much of it applies:
