TAcommunities.org is a forum for exchanging strategies and ideas that will improve outcomes for children with disabilities. As a member, this platform will enable you to find colleagues who share interests (member profiles), participate in discussions, and share strategies, resources, and post content.  One of the communities you can join on TAcommunities is the “Pre-School LRE Community of Practice.” LRE stands for “least restrictive environment,” a term used in the
U.S. special education law, the IDEA, to mean students with disabilities should be educated with their general education peers to the greatest extent appropriate for them.  The Pre-School LRE Community of Practice discusses issues around helping pre-school children with special education needs participate in general education settings to the fullest extent possible.
