A quick definition of least-restrictive educational environment:

Least-Restrictive Educational Environment: This means that children with disabilities should be educated in a way that allows them to be with other children who do not have disabilities as much as possible. This is important because it helps children with disabilities to learn and grow just like other children. It is required by law under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

A more thorough explanation:

Least-Restrictive Educational Environment

The least-restrictive educational environment is the setting in which a student with a disability can receive an education alongside non-disabled peers to the greatest extent possible. This is required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

  • A student with a hearing impairment may be provided with a sign language interpreter in a regular classroom setting, rather than being placed in a separate classroom with other students who have hearing impairments.
  • A student with a learning disability may receive extra support and accommodations in a regular classroom, rather than being placed in a special education classroom.

These examples illustrate the concept of providing education in the least-restrictive environment possible. By providing support and accommodations in a regular classroom setting, students with disabilities can learn alongside their non-disabled peers and have access to the same educational opportunities.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!

17:06
I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on
