Autism Jargon: Least Restrictive Environment

Like Autism Live on Facebook at http://facebook.com/autismlive    Today's jargon is Least Restrictive Environment. IDEA states that children with disabilities have a right to a free, appropriate, public education in the least restrictive environment that offers a floor of opportunity to access the curriculum.  Determining the least restrictive environment that is appropriate can be challenging, but it is worthwhile.    Autism Live is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD), headquartered in Tarzana, California, and with offices throughout, the United States and around the globe.
