WHAT IS UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR
LEARNING?
UDL and LEARNERS WITH SUPPORT NEEDS
THE THREE PRINCIPLES IN ACTION
Week 1:
Week 2:
Week 3:
WHAT IS UDL? UDL
.
UDL is a framework for all learners - this
includes learners with special needs
The question is: HOW does UDL improve
school for these learners?
How does the UDL framework and practice
lead to more meaningful learning for all?
What challenges or barriers do you face in
your work to support learners?
One of my biggest challenges in my work is…

• Diversity and Variability in Classrooms
• Learning and Expertise in the 21st
Century
• Industry to Knowledge Society
• Standards & Accountability
• IDEA 2004: Access, participation, and
progress in the general education
curriculum

• Universal is not one size fits all - it is
flexible alternatives
• Designed from the beginning - not
retrofitted
• Increases access opportunities for
everyone – not just the average user
Universal Design
• What population uses CC the most?
•The Deaf/hard of hearing community
•People in gyms working out
•People in bars or restaurants
•People in airports
•Spouses in bed trying to watch TV

UDL and the Learning Brain
• Open up and just use
• Give to my tech savvy friend and watch
• Go online and research videos
• Get a manual or instructions
• Go to the Apple Store
• Something Else
Poll: How would you begin?
Affective Networks:
•the “why” of learning
•to evaluate and set priorities, influences
motivation and preferences
