[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 39112, member: 23"] The Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) requirements in IDEA varies depending on the student. Mainstream is the LRE for many; but if therapeutic day school or Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is the appropriate LRE, that's where placement should be. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">he needs a small classroom enviroment and they do not have it in this school or in the regional school district </div></div> Then the sd needs to contract with-an entity that does. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">i am waiting to hear if the area superintendants voted to create a special class for early elem for kids like difficult child. i am told there is a need but today the gov of the state announced funding cuts to schools. </div></div> It shouldn't matter. The cost of providing FAPE is the sd's problem -- not the students' or parents'. See [url="http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/lre.osers.memo.idea.htm"]http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/lre.osers.memo.idea.htm[/url] for : "The term "FAPE" is defined as including, among other elements, special education and related services, provided [i][b]at no cost to parents[/b][/i], in conformity with an individualized education program (IEP).
