LRBI

Least Restrictive Behavioral Intervention

What is the purpose of LRBI?

Schools in the United States have been struggling with meeting student’s academic and behavioral needs. Because of this, these guidelines have been created by the Utah Stare Office of Education (USOE) to “assure that a free appropriate public education (FAPE) is afforded to each student with a disability in accordance with federal law, state rules and regulations, and Local Education Agency (LEA) polices governing special education.” The LRBI guidelines also help teachers, other school personnel, LEAs and the USOE practice suggestions for their own protection.

Below is a link to the 2009 Edition of the LRBI Manuel
