Federal law and regulations presume that a student with a disability will be educated in general education classes with their “typically developing” peers. Your district must ensure that a student is placed in the general education environment, unless the nature and severity of the disability is such that education in general classes with supplementary aids and services cannot be satisfactorily achieved.[1] Supplementary aids and services can range from teaching aids such as computers to additional staff support (e.g. one-to-one paraprofessional assistance, a note-taker or test-giver). These support services can be provided in the general class, general education environment or in other education-related settings. Any supplementary aid or service that the IEP team agrees on must be included in the IEP.[2]
