Talk:Least restrictive environment

message: I noticed that the "Inclusion" link at the bottom just leads to the "Special Education" article.  My understanding was that "inclusion" was kind of a subset of Special Ed (inclusion is when Special Ed students are included in a classroom with "regular" students as opposed to Special Ed kids being taught in a "self-contained" room).  
Three suggestions:
1. Delete the link (as most people probably assume it will take them to an article about inclusion)
2. Start an article about inclusion and connect the link to this new article
3. As long as no article on inclusion has been written, if you believe the link should be kept, then I agree that linking to the Special Ed page is the best place (it does mention and define inclusion there)
Thanks!

message: You're right.  I don't know why "inclusion" would go to special education --- should just go straight to special eduation.  All fixed.  :-)

thread_title:  Inclusion link going to special education page 

message: I was wondering if perhaps there should be a link to "Inclusion (education)" after all.  I found that there is an article on inclusion (separate from the "inclusive classroom" article) and I don't believe it has any other articles that link to it.  I am a relatively inexperienced teacher, so I'll let someone else make the change.  (Perhaps the 2 articles "Inclusive classroom" and "Inclusion (education)" could be merged?)
:You're right.  There should be a link to this article. Don't be reluctant to participate directly.  Check out the Wiki Principle [Wikipedia:Be bold]!  If you haven't done any direct editing yet, this is a good one to get your feet wet.  :-)
:Best,

thread_title:  "Inclusion" article does exist 

message: Articles related to special education get a lot of merge proposals.  If you're going to propose one for this page, please remember that this page is about a single, United States-only legal concept.  It is meaningless in the rest of the world.  Consequently, proposing merges to pages that are about worldwide practices is inappropriate.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:28, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

message: Introduction 
Perhaps change the grammar in the first line: In the U.S. the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a special education law that mandates regulation for students with disabilities in order to protect their rights as students and the rights of their parents. One amendment that was added to IDEA is the Least Restrictive Environment Clause (LRE) which states that students will disabilities should be in the regular education classroom with their non-disabled peers. DEFINE what LRE means. 
I would change the line “The student should be provided with supplementary aids and services necessary to achieve educational goals if placed in a setting with non-disabled peers.” This is not necessarily true for every individual, it depends on how the IEP it written and what it says. Not all students need an aid in the individual within the regular classroom setting. Change “special school” to out of district placement. Define what the “team” is who determines where a student is placed (the IEP team normally consists of the parents, regular education teacher, special education teacher, psychology chairs, sometimes the vice principal, and the student if over a certain age). This introduction section needs sources. A14costa (talk) 17:37, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
