meaning that their educational experiences must be as similar as possible to those of
children who do not have a disability. The goal of LRE is for students with disabilities to
remain in the general education classroom to the greatest extent possible, with the
fewest possible changes to day-to- day routines, and to be removed from regular
classes and provided with special services only when the severity of their disability
requires doing so in order for them to be educated appropriately.

be provided in order to achieve those goals. It is created by a team typically consisting
of the child's parents, a special ed. professional, a general ed. teacher, a representative
of the school, and others. The educational objectives described in the IEP must align
with state curriculum standards for general education. When the student reaches 16 the
IEP must contain a description of the student's goals falling graduation and the
transition services needed to achieve those goals.
Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP)
Prior to the age of 3, each child who shows signs of developmental delay must have an
IFSP. It is a written document similar to the IEP that focuses on the gmail and the child's
natural environment.

helps ensure the privacy of educational records such as IEPs.

students with disabilities.

determine if a child has a disability and requires special ed. services, a referral for
evaluation must be made. A referral can be made by parents, school staff, or
administrators. Physicians, judicial officers, and students over 18, can make a request
for an initial referral too. Parents whose children have not previously received the case
