Examines the concept of least restrictive environment to provide the reader with an understanding of the principles that undergird student placement decisions. This text should prove of value to special education teacher prep courses, graduate students in related disciplines, and seminar use.

Recenzje

"This well-written book strives to examine what LRE (least restrictive environment) was intended to reflect and why it is still a contested issue in the education of students with special needs.... This readable volume provides a well-organized appendix of court cases directly related to LRE, which includes a concise rationale of the courts' decisions. Recommended for upper-division undergraduate, graduate, and faculty collections."
