Abstract
Reauthorization of IDEA in 2004 established procedural mandates and accountability
requirements ensuring all students with disabilities participate and progress in general education
curriculum. Broadly speaking, improvements toward greater access have been found for many
students with disabilities, however the extent to which this holds true for students with extensive
and pervasive support needs is not evident. Past research associated with LRE for students with
extensive and pervasive support needs was considered when replicating previous research using
the cumulative placement rate to analyze LRE data for students with extensive and pervasive
support needs (autism, intellectual disability, deaf blindness, and multiple disabilities). Results
indicate that student with extensive and pervasive support needs have substantially less positive
LRE placement trends over the past 15 years with most placed in separate classrooms and
settings. Recommendations for transforming federal and state policies and procedures are shared.
