What does the least restrictive environment policy of the IDEA emphasize?

  1. Students must sit apart from their peers

  2. Students with disabilities should be educated with their non-disabled peers

  3. Students with disabilities require constant supervision

  4. Students should learn in isolation

The correct answer is: Students with disabilities should be educated with their non-disabled peers

The least restrictive environment policy of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) emphasizes that students with disabilities should be educated alongside their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate. This principle is rooted in the belief that inclusion enhances the social, emotional, and academic development of students with disabilities and promotes acceptance and understanding among all students. By placing students with disabilities in general education settings, they have the opportunity to interact with their peers, participate in the same activities, and receive support services that allow them to thrive in a typical learning environment. This policy seeks to ensure that every child has access to the same educational opportunities, fostering an inclusive community where diversity is valued.
