Impaired Children

Under P.L. 94–142, sensorily impaired children must receive appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. This means, in practice, that some of them must be placed in residential schools; which means, in turn, that legally such schools must exist and be available. Here the requirements and difficulties are considered, with emphasis on the differing and varying needs of the children involved, and reference to several court cases and administrative decisions.

Placement Option

Efforts to include children with disabilities in mainstream settings often raise questions as to what constitutes “least restrictive.” This paper addresses educational placement of deaf children, especially as it pertains to physical education and sport. Many leaders in deaf education hold that placement of deaf children in public schools often occurs without regard to their socioemotional/cultural/language needs. This paper provides a rationale for the residential school as a viable and legitimate placement option for deaf children. Also included in the paper is a brief historical overview of deaf education including the contributions of residential schools to deaf sport and deaf culture.

Restrictive Environment

This chapter focuses on the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), as it is one of the most controversial and litigated topics in the field of special education, because the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act does not provide any guidelines on how this requirement needs to be met. Since the Supreme Court of the United States will not hear a case about LRE, this chapter also presents several circuit court cases that have attempted to interpret the law using an assessment they developed. In addition, the chapter reviews several continuum models that attempt to ease the burden for schools and their districts as they contemplate the best educational placement for a student with exceptionalities. The chapter concludes with a discussion about the future trends for special education and LRE.
