In Texas, placement options for special needs children under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) are designed to ensure a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) in the Least Restrictive Environment (LRE).
These options range from General Education classrooms, where students with disabilities are included with their typically developing peers, to more specialized settings such as Resource Rooms, which provide part-time specialized instruction, and Self-Contained classrooms for those who need more intensive support.
Additionally, there are options for Alternative Programs (AP) that cater to specific needs. The goal is to tailor the educational setting to the individual child's needs while maximizing their opportunities to interact with non-disabled peers, as mandated by IDEA.
