title: Least restrictive environment.
abstract: In summary, the future appears bright with increased opportunities for persons with communication disorders because the Americans with Disabilities Act mandates greater access. Speech-language pathologists and audiologists can and must play an important role in advising employers, businesses, retailers, and numerous others how to provide reasonable accommodations for persons with speech, language, and hearing disorders.
