Least Restrictive Environment

1. The Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is at the core of the Inclusion practice. To be considered an Inclusive school, the school has to educate their students with disabilities as much as possible with their peers without disabilities (Salend, 2016). The LRE is based on the idea that a student with disabilities will be placed in a general classroom with his peers and learn as much as possible with the help of the general classroom teacher, and if needed the special educators, and any other paraprofessionals who could help the student with disabilities. The LRE also encourages students to attend school in their neighbourhood, a school as close as possible to their homes, with other students from their neighbourhood attending the same school…

Hi Professor, For my son, Least Restrictive Environment means normal classrooms, teachers that have been briefed on his exceptions, a formal 504 plan to add special accommodations from the teachers and staff to address his needs, and special allowances for taking notes, tests, and reading activities. He also has special places within the classroom that are reserved for him to work to help avoid distractions and promote greater attention and success. He was on medication and being allowed to…

define “inclusive education” and “least restrictive environment” differently. Having developed an inclusionary model, Lipsky and Gartner (1996) showed full support for school restructuring that does not exclude students with special needs. Their definition of inclusive education include “quality education that is both individual and integrated” in the same classroom regardless of student abilities (Lipsky & Gartner, 1996). To them, a least restrictive environment meant a general classroom that…

During the interview, our first question directly relates to the process of Least Restrictive Environment. It concerns how students receive Free Appropriate Public Education. According to the IDEA principle, students who with disabilities must be educated in the setting most like that of same age peers without disabilities where a student can be successful with supports. It is presumed that LRE for most students with disabilities is the general education setting and educators must justify any…

number of students identified as emotionally disturbed (EmD) and other heath impaired (OHI). The 2003 Consent Decree wanted to reduce the over identification of minority students, which led to three strategies being implemented. The first one is Response to Intervention (RtI), to help prevent over identification and to revisit recently identified students and to consider that another classification might be more appropriate for the student. Mattie T. also wanted to make sure that students were…

There are many services provided to young children and families that have a developmental delay or a disability. In this assignment I will go over what LRE, Inclusion, home-based programs and center-based programs and how they relate to young children with a disability. LRE (least restrictive environment) is a allows young children with special needs to be educated in settings as close as possible to a regular or general education environment. The goal for LRE is to prevent segregation. All…

for kids exist, there will be room for litigation. One key and still controversial aspect of the IDEA regulations is the one stating that to the fullest extent possible, children with disabilities must be educated with children who are not disabled. This translates into the phrase “least restrictive environment” (LRE). During the determination of services, students will be placed in the environment that allows them the most exposure to regular education classes as possible. This will remain as…

important to consider that many of these students have mental, physical, and social needs. Making sure that children are being provided with the a proper learning environment is crucial. Especially when it comes to physical education. Therefore, understanding what inclusion and least restrictive environment is, the pros and cons of each, how PE teachers adapt to these settings, and my viewpoint on the topic. First off, inclusion in education programs can sometimes be misunderstood. In simple…

The least restrictive environment allows students with disabilities the chance to learn alongside of students that do not have any disabilities within a regular classroom. She believes that this is a proper move to make for students with disabilities because not too long ago, students with special needs were normally only able to be with other children that had disabilities. She believes that this process helps students of both calibers. It helps the disabled students because it gives them a…

The emphasis is given to the Least Squares Method repeatedly used in forecasting. The magic is in testing for a relationship between scale variables plus not knowing the strength of the association, but rather the ability to predict (Mirabella, 2011). Predicted Y = a +bX. The data viewing of the BS GPA vs. MBA GPA one sees MBA GPA = -0.057+0.987. One can make an educated statement, if a BS student has a 3.50 GPA, then the MBA GPA is predicted to be 3.397 with a marginal error of 0.233.…
