Topic: What is Least Restrictive Environment
Thursday, February 23, 2023
6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Presented by: S. Paul Prior, Esq., Hinkle Prior & Fischer, P.C in collaboration with Children’s Specialized Hospital
About this session: Least Restrictive Environment, often referred to as LRE, can mean different things in different situations. No two students are alike, and no two students equally benefit from the same educational placement. While LRE may often mean the student should attend school in the same classroom as typically developing peers, in some circumstances, it may mean a specialized out of district placement. In this workshop, we will discuss the legal standards surrounding LRE as well as the various educational and placement options which are typically available. We will review the various issues and challenges surrounding LRE disputes and how those disputes are resolved. Our speaker will allow time for questions and answers.
