[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 28556, member: 23"] Schools are required by law to educate a child in the least restrictive environment (LRE). With that said, the LRE may be 100% mainstreamed for one student and Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement for another. It is rare that school district IEP team members would agree to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement unless there is a long history of trying other means. Even then, Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is so costly that even when the need is evident, it's more often than not very difficult to get appropriate placement. Can you give us some history? Also, have you enlisted the services of an advocate? [/QUOTE]
