The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandates that   all students with disabilities receive a FAPE in the LRE. The   decisions regarding these two components of the law are to be made   based solely on the unique needs of each individual student. Teachers   will be a part of this decision making process and must adhere to the   requirements of IDEA.
