Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
A framework built on research-based principles offering the potential to design equitable learning environments for all students.
“It seemed ironic to us that legislators and architects were working very hard to ensure that educational buildings were universally accessible, but no such movement pursued universal accessibility for the methods and materials used inside the buildings—the curriculum.”
(Rose & Meyer, 2002, p.72)
