Does your child's special education placement HAVE to be close to home?
Karen shares a personal experience about her son, whose elementary school was practically in their backyard, yet his autism program was located at the farthest campus in the district.
Why? Because that was the setting where he could receive the support he needed to succeed.
While proximity to home is an important consideration, special education placement decisions must prioritize each student's individual needs and Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) requirements.
The closest school isn't always the most appropriate placement, but distance shouldn't be overlooked either!
