What It’s Not
Not one size fits all – but alternatives for everyone.
Not access for some – but access for everyone.
Not added on later – but designed from the beginning.

“Consider the needs of the broadest possible range of users from the beginning”

What is Universal Design for Learning (UDL)?
Universal Design for Learning is the process of building in (rather than adding on) accessibility and achievement supports for diverse learning needs.
Principles of UDL
Multiple means of representation: gives learners various ways of acquiring information and knowledge
Multiple means of expression: provides learners alternatives for demonstrating what they know
Multiple means of engagement: taps into learners' interests, offer appropriate challenges, and increase motivation.
