What is the LRE – via Zoom

Hello everyone! When your child is struggling in school and you or the IEP team is considering a more restrictive or different program placement, it is important to understand All About the Least Restrictive Environment. Sec. 300.114 LRE requirements – Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Families, educators and caregivers will benefit from my free session on LRE.

On Monday, December 30th at NOON, let’s start the New Year by filling up our advocacy toolbox! This free zoom session (link below) will cover:

What is the LRE? What are factors in placement in the LRE?
Is the general education classroom always the appropriate LRE?
How important are supplementary aids and services for placement considerations?
How important is the student’s social-emotional-behavioral functioning for LRE (very!)?
What programs are available in MCPS (and other districts but since this is MCNeeds…)?
What is the placement process?
Question and answer time.

In the meantime, enjoy this Issue Paper about special education services in the regular general education classroom. In this Issue Paper, the High Quality Special Education Services Committee tackles the role of instructional assistants, emphasizes the importance of clarity who-is-doing-what to implement the IEP and other issues such as co-planning between special and general educators.
