Inclusion is a Must---Draft 3

Students with disabilities learn best when they are in their least restrictive environment which can be defined as the place that does not limit their ability to receive the best education possible. The least restrictive environment, LRE, can be defined as the student’s right to be educated in the setting most like the educational setting for peers without disabilities in which the student can be successful, with certain supports provided (Friend, Bursuck 3). In the field of education, it is essential that all students receive accommodations and modifications to make the best learning opportunities possible. Integrating students as much as possible into the general education classroom is one of the best ways for students with disabilities to learn. It is one of the most important aspects of a child’s education. A child’s education should be based on his or her abilities, not to be focused on their disabilities.
