Abstract

Researchers at the University of South Carolina have detailed data on learning disabilities, specifically focusing on the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the relationship between providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) and placing students in the least restrictive environment (LRE). The study highlights the historical debates surrounding this issue within the field of special education, tracing conflicts over LRE throughout the history of IDEA. This research, published in the Journal of Learning Disabilities, emphasizes the ongoing importance of clarifying the relationship between FAPE and LRE for students with disabilities.
