If yes, design a split placement by including the student in the integrated setting for part of the school day and in the more restrictive setting for part of the school day.
If not, repeat step 5 for a placement on the continuum that is slightly more restrictive, and then, if necessary, go to step 6 for that setting.
If yes, that is the primary placement.
If no, go to step 6.
If yes, then the setting becomes the student's primary placement.
If no, go to step 5.
If yes, then the general education setting with supplementary aids and services becomes the student's primary placement.
If no, go to step 4.
If the answer is yes, then the general education setting becomes the student's primary placement.
However, before making such a determination, LEAs must ensure that consideration has been given to the full range of supplementary aids and services that could be provided to the child in the regular educational environment to accommodate the unique needs of the child with a disability.
If child with a disability has behavioral problems that are so disruptive in a regular classroom that the education of other children is significantly impaired, the needs of the child with a disability generally cannot be met in that environment.
Therefore regular placement would not be appropriate to his or her needs.
where a student with disabilities is so disruptive in a regular classroom that the education of other students is significantly impaired, the needs of the student with disabilities cannot be met in that environment.
counseling services, physical recreational athletics, transportation, health services, recreational services, special interest groups, school-sponsored clubs and employment by a school.
extracurricular services, meals, recess period, counseling services, athletics, transportation, health services, recreational activities, and special interest groups or clubs sponsored by the IDEA.
If district administrators choose to concentrate resources at particular schools for particular needs and disabilities, under IDEA.
Schools retain the right to determine how to use their resources in the most efficient manner.
An IEP team should not determine a student's placement prior to developing his or her IEP.
Student's disability must not be predetermined, before an IEP meeting.
Placement decisions should not be based solely on factors that are unrelated to a student's actual needs.
The team must make the placement decision at least annually.
I wonder if the placement decision can be discussed throughout the year depending on the student's disability, and how the student's progress goes through the year. For example, if a student with a specific learning disability needs to be placed in a special education classroom for half of the day at the beginning of the school year and then maybe during the middle of the year the IEP team can see that the student is progressing, they might schedule a meeting and then consider a change of placement.
Resource room, or itinerant instruction.
Instruction in regular classroom, special class, special schools, home instruction, and instruction in hospitals, and institutions.
States are required to ensure that teachers and administrators in all public schools are fully informed about the requirements of LRE provision and are provided with the technical assistance and training necessary to assist them in this effort.
These supplementary aids and services should include assistive technology devices or services, behavioral interventions, teaching adaptations, personnel training, teacher aide, or resource rooms.

to the maximum extent appropriate, students with disabilities should educated with students without disabilities.
that schools provide FAPE to all students with disabilities.
I wonder if in these cases the students that will need an aide can be placed in a general education classroom without any problem even if they distract their peers. This is because we want to avoid a restrictive environment, but also we would like to ensure that the other student's education is not affected. Also, maybe having both special education and general education working together might be better.
Mainstreaming is not required when:
The student is disruptive force in the general education classroom.
Any marginal benefit from mainstreaming would be significantly outweighed by benefits that could feasibly be obtained only in a separate instructional setting.
A student with a disability would not receive educational benefit from mainstreaming in a general education class.
I think that this is very important because the main goal is to make sure that we have placed the students with disabilities in a general education classroom where they can actually learn and not just socialize with other students that are nondisabled. The importance of this is because the students should also receive educational benefits if the general education classroom is not going to support their IEP goals. That's like the case that I worked with my case brief and I had to state why a student did not need to be placed in a mainstreamed classroom the whole day, instead, he needed a special ed classroom half of the day to focus on his goals.

Parents removed her from the school and placed her in a private school, and requested a due process hearing.
School District rejected this request since they contended that Rachel's disability was too severe for her to benefit from the placement, instead they proposed that she be placed in special education for academic subjects, attending general education class only for nonacademic for nonacademic activities:
Art, music, lunch, and recess

The court believed that the statutory language of the LRE mandate provided a more appropriate test for determining a school's compliance with the mainstreaming requirement that did the Roncker inquiry.
Daniel court declined to follow the Sixth Circuit analysis in Roncker, stating that the Rocker test necessitated "too intrusive an inquiry into educational policy choices that Congress deliberately left to state and local school districts".
The parents filed an action in the district court and then the circuit court.
The office also noted that the teacher would have to modify the curriculum totally meet Daniel's needs.
The hearing officer agreed with the school's conclusion that Daniel could not participate in the prekindergarten class without almost-constant supervision from the teacher, that he was receiving the little educational benefit, and that he was disrupting the class because his needs absorbed most of the teacher's time.
The committee met and device that the prekindergarten class was inappropriate for Daniel.
Daniel got removed from the prekindergarten class, attended only the early childhood special class, and interacted with other children from the prekindergarten class at recess and lunch.
Daniel's teacher informed the school after the beginning of the year, placement committee that Daniel was not participating in class and was failing to master any of the skills taught, even with almost, constant attention and instruction from the teacher and aide.
Daniel's parents requested to place him in a prekindergarten class for half of the school day and an early childhood special education class for the other half.
Daniel is a six year old child with Down Syndrome enrolled in the El Paso, Texas, Independent School District.
