Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The least restrictive environment (LRE) principle of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that children with disabilities be educated in the setting that is closest to a regular school program that meets their individual needs. This means that whenever possible, children with disabilities should be placed in mainstream classrooms with their peers who do not have disabilities. Exceptions to this principle can be made only if education in the regular classroom cannot be achieved satisfactorily even with the provision of supplementary aids and services.
