Least Restrictive Environment or MOST SUPPORTED Setting? 🤔
Karen raises an important question about how we think about educational placement for students with disabilities.
IDEA requires schools to consider the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) while providing a continuum of alternative placements to meet individual needs.
But schools also have limitations, and not every student needs the same level or type of support.
The goal isn't simply to find a classroom. It's to determine what supports the student needs and where an appropriate education can be delivered!
