FAPE vs. LRE: Two Essential Special Education Rights Explained


FAPE and LRE are NOT the same thing! Do you know the difference?

FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education) focuses on providing an appropriate education designed to enable meaningful progress based on a child's individual circumstances.

LRE (Least Restrictive Environment) focuses on educating students with disabilities alongside their nondisabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate.

Both are essential components of special education under IDEA!

Parents, it's not just about the services your child receives. It's also about making sure they're learning in the appropriate environment!
