Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is the requirement in federal and state law that students with disabilities receive their education, to the maximum extent appropriate, with nondisabled peers.
Least restrictive environment (LRE) means kids who get special education should be in the same classrooms as other kids as much as possible. LRE isn't a place — it's a principle that guides a child's education program. The LRE for each child may look different because kids are unique.
The School. Does your child attend a regular public school? Is this the same school s/he would attend if s/he did not have a disability? Is the school physically accessible (Are water fountains, bathrooms, & other facilities accessible?)
While rare, an employee handbook can inadvertently create a contract in certain instances. Legally, the key factor in determining whether a company handbook constitutes a contract is if the employer has issued a guarantee to the employee or if the employee promises anything to the employer.
Least restrictive environment means that a student will be placed in a setting in which a student is able to succeed that is closest to the regular classroom setting as possible. One of the most common (and least restrictive) placement option for students with mild to moderate handicaps is the Resource setting.
Least Restrictive Environment Students who are in a special education program should have access to the general education curriculum. This is called the least restrictive environment (LRE).
