Least Restrictive Environment
Captions available
The idea
The least restrictive environment is the setting that lets a student with a disability participate in the regular classroom as much as the student's needs allow.
In practice
One student spends the whole day in a regular class with an aide; another spends mornings in a resource room.
Where people slip
Placements vary because needs vary; there is no single correct setting.
