The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 1990 requires states to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to all children with disabilities. As part of that requirement, the law mandates that children with disabilities receive educational services in the "least restrictive environment" (LRE) possible. This means that children with disabilities should be educated with non-disabled peers to the greatest extent appropriate. However, it does not mandate mainstreaming all students with disabilities into regular classrooms nor does it exempt students with disabilities from the requirements of No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Additionally, IDEA does not standardize services provided to students with disabilities across the states, as states have some flexibility in how they implement the law.
