LRE

Least Restrictive Environment.  (cited from www.wrightslaw.com) This is the requirement in US federal law that students with disabilities receive their education to the maximum extent appropriate, with non-disabled peers and that special education students are not removed from regular classes unless, even with supplemental aids and services, education in regular classes cannot be achieved satisfactorily. [20 United States Code (U.S.C.) Sec. 1412 (a)(5)(A); 34 Code o Federal Regulations (C.F.R.) Sec. 300.114.]
