Abstract
This article calls attention to the fact that one of the ironies of Public Law 94--142 is the constraining effect of the regulations developed to implement the law. These regulations weigh against the flexibility of educational programming needed to meet the individual needs of handicapped children. A number of programs---and one in particular, a combination resource room and self-contained class---are described as alternatives to strict adherence to the Deno Cascade model. We need more flexibility in order to truly implement the least restrictive environment concept.Keywords
