Which option correctly expands the acronym LRE?

• A. Local Resource Education
• B. Limited Resource Education
• C. Least Restrictive Environment
• D. Learning Resource Environment

Answer: (C)

LRE stands for Least Restrictive Environment. The idea is that students with disabilities should be educated alongside their non-disabled peers to the greatest extent possible, with any needed supports and services provided to meet their individual needs. The other options don’t reflect the official term used in special education and don’t convey the placement principle of inclusion and appropriate supports that LRE represents.
