(And yes, I am aware that doing that is also full of illegal. They've already shown willingness to be full of illegal, though...)Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413844178426365789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-3195140142805360052012-09-16T22:38:23.592-04:002012-09-16T22:38:23.592-04:00Absolutely correct.

LRE means the most inclusive, "mainstream" educational environment in which the student can be supported and accommodated so as to be able to access the curriculum. I don't know the particulars of Henry's case, but offhand it appears that the district is breaking the law by not allowing Henry to attend the school he would attend if not for his disability. In addition, if he is only able to function in that school with a support person, the DISTRICT, NOT THE PARENTS, is legally obliged to provide it.Audrey Rasmusson, Attorney-at-Law, Pittsburgh PAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426050656197929065.post-13709699874202198282012-09-16T15:59:50.994-04:002012-09-16T15:59:50.994-04:00Thanks for the info!

Henry and his family are in the right and the school is clearly in the wrong. Henry simply wants his civil rights. Autistic_Dadnoreply@blogger.com
