Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The provision of specialized instruction in a special education classroom that is as similar as possible to the classroom where children without a disability are taught is an example of a least restrictive environment. This means that students with disabilities should be educated in settings that are, to the greatest extent possible, similar to those in which children without disabilities are educated. This approach supports inclusion and the integration of students with disabilities into mainstream education settings whenever possible, but also recognizes the need for specialized instruction and support when necessary.
