This Second Edition gives administrators a framework and resources to provide quality professional development on educating students in the least restrictive environment. From assistive technology and accessibility, to transportation services and more, school staff learn strategies that comply with LRE requirements under the IDEA, Section 504 and ADA. Avoid inappropriate placement and denial of FAPE by training educators in 10 topics including:

• Bringing a universal design for learning perspective to lesson planning
• Getting co-teachers on the same page for planning
• Considering assistive technology along a continuum, just like LRE
• Recognizing when a pattern of removals amounts to a change in placement

And, each topic includes an Activity Guide to help develop a training plan on how to apply legally sound instructional strategies plus Practical Strategies for Staff Training to supplement the activity or use separately for on-the-spot training.
