Learning Behavior Specialist (LBS) 1 Practice Exam

Which term refers to the free, appropriate public education required by IDEA?

LRE IDEA IEP FAPE

Correct Answer:

FAPE

Explanation:

FAPE stands for Free Appropriate Public Education, and that phrase captures the obligation IDEA places on public schools. It means eligible students with disabilities must receive education at no cost to families that is tailored to their individual needs and designed to enable meaningful progress. This education includes the necessary special education and related services and must be provided in the least restrictive environment to the greatest extent appropriate. The plan that outlines exactly what services a student will receive is the IEP, and while LRE and IDEA are important parts of the framework, FAPE is the specific guarantee of a no-cost, suitably designed education for each eligible student.
