Answer:

least restrictive environment

Step-by-step explanation:

In education, least restrictive environment is a learning environment which do not follow the traditional standard that follows 'one form fits all' methods of teaching.

In this environment, The educators will design their teaching method specifically to cater a special type of students along with adding some additional resources to improve the students' learning process.

This type of environment often introduced to the students with some sort of disabilities. (just like Kirk's cerebral palsy) . But the main goal of the curriculum is still to make the children with disabilities able to compete with all students during a standardized test.
