Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) doesn't mean setting a child up to FAIL! 📚⚖️
Under IDEA, schools must make appropriate efforts to educate students with disabilities alongside their nondisabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate.
But LRE isn't about placing a child in general education without the support they need.
The IEP team must first determine what constitutes an appropriate education for the child, then consider where that education can be delivered.
Schools should consider supplementary aids and services before determining that education in a general education classroom cannot be achieved satisfactorily.
Remember: It's about finding the right placement to meet the child's individual needs!
