The U.S. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act defines the concept of the Least Restrictive Environment as the opportunity for a student with a disability to be «provided with supplementary aids and services necessary to achieve educational goals if placed in a setting with non-disabled peers.»
That law has four key provisions: 1) every child, no matter how disabled, has a right to a free and appropriate education, which can take place in either a public or private setting; 2) an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) must be designed for each child in consultation with his or her parents; 3) the child should be educated in the «least restrictive environment»; and 4) parents can object to the educational provisions for their child by requesting a «due process» hearing with an independent hearing officer, whose decisions can be appealed to the courts (see sidebar).
Further, it entitles students to be placed in the least restrictive setting in which it is possible to serve their educational needs.
