= **Oberti vs. Board of Education of the Borough of Clementon School** =

=** **District (3rd Circuit Court, 1993)**  I n finding for the parents in Oberti, the court ruled in favor of a placement that was more inclusive than that provided by a self-contained placement. Specifically, the court ruled that three factors must be considered: If, after considering these factors, the court determines that the child cannot be educated satisfactorily in a regular classroom, the court must consider whether the schools have included the child in school programs to the maximum extent appropriate.
 * 1) The court should consider whether the district made reasonable efforts to accommodate the child in regular education. The school must "consider the whole range of supplemental aids and services . . ."
 * 2) The court should compare the educational benefits the child would receive in regular education (with supplemental aids and services) contrasted with the benefits in a special education classroom.
 * 3) The court should consider the effect the inclusion of the child with disabilities might have on the education of other children in the regular education classroom.
