Upcoming Webinar
Understanding FAPE, LRE, and Your IEP
Public schools are required to provide a free, appropriate public education (FAPE) to all students with disabilities and place them in the least-restrictive environment (LRE), a classroom with their nondisabled peers to the greatest extent possible. Dr. Sarah Pelangka will explain how we can actually use FAPE and LRE to advocate for your child.
