LRE should NEVER be an afterthought in an IEP meeting!
Karen raises an important concern: IEP teams often spend time discussing present levels, goals, and accommodations—but how much thought goes into Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)?
A student's placement shouldn't be decided simply by assigning them to a program or classroom.
Under IDEA, teams must consider whether the student can be educated alongside nondisabled peers with appropriate supplementary aids and services.
Parents, don't just ask WHERE your child will be placed. Ask WHY that placement is appropriate!
