13-33B-3. Placement of deaf and hard-of-hearing children.
In considering placement and the least restrictive environment for a deaf and hard-of-hearing child, the individualized education program team shall consider the unique communications needs of the child as discussed in §13-33B-2. In making that determination, the individualized education program team shall consider particularly those program options that provide the pupil with an appropriate and equal opportunity for communication access, including the state school for the deaf which may be the least restrictive environment for a deaf or hard-of-hearing child.
