Universal Design for Learing (UDL)

Universal Design for Learning is becoming increasingly popular way of designing material, curriculum and supports for all students including those with disabilities. There are lots of great resources on the web that explain how this might work. One of the best is at UBC - Okanagan. It has several great links to examples and some ideas that you may want to think about when you are designing your work with students: See the link: http://web.ubc.ca/okanagan/students/disres/faculty/ud/ud-learning.html
