What does the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) promote?

Isolation of special needs students from peers
Integrated placement promoting interaction with non-disabled peers
Exclusively routine-based education for disabled children
Placement strictly in special education classrooms

The correct answer is: Integrated placement promoting interaction with non-disabled peers

The Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is a fundamental principle in special education that emphasizes the importance of educating students with disabilities alongside their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent possible. This approach promotes interaction and inclusion, allowing students with special needs to participate in general education settings while receiving the necessary support and accommodations tailored to their individual requirements. By prioritizing integrated placements, LRE fosters social interactions and helps reduce stigmas, contributing to a more inclusive educational atmosphere. This approach is beneficial not only for students with disabilities but also enhances the learning environment for their non-disabled peers.
