In this 90-minute recorded audio conference, school attorney Jan Tomsky breaks down the difficult questions that IEP teams must address when making decisions regarding placement of students with ASD in the least restrictive environment, including:
- How should your team balance the obligation to provide educational benefit with the requirement to serve the student in the LRE?
- Does LRE require districts to move special education services to a student's home school?
- How does the team determine what specialized services are necessary for a student, and to what extent?
- How much input should parents have regarding the final placement decision?
Plus, Ms. Tomsky provides practical guidance by explaining how courts and hearing officers have decided recent cases related to full inclusion, specialized services and LRE for students with autism.
