"This well-written book strives to examine what LRE (least restrictive environment) was intended to reflect and why it is still a contested issue in the education of students with special needs.... This readable volume provides a well-organized appendix of court cases directly related to LRE, which includes a concise rationale of the courts' decisions. Recommended for upper-division undergraduate, graduate, and faculty collections."
