Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The determination of the student's educational placement in the least restrictive environment should be based on the child's individual needs and abilities, and not on factors such as cost or location. However, if the student is able to succeed in a general education classroom with appropriate supports and accommodations, then that should be the first consideration for their educational placement. Preference for the general education classroom should also be taken into consideration if possible. The student's native language may also be a consideration if they are an English language learner, but it should not be the only factor in determining their placement.
