Challenges of Rights-Based Law

Implementing the Least Restrictive Environment Mandate

Elizabeth Palley

Adelphi University

The least restrictive environment provision of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA, 1997) is an example of how American laws written to address structural barriers for people with disabilities may be constrained or circumvented by the American rights-based legal system. This article provides a background on rights-based and social relations approaches to policy implementation, reviews the relevant case law, reviews the economic implications of the IDEA, addresses institutional structural factors and concludes with policy recommendations.
