UDL is a framework for designing instruction that meets the diverse and varied needs of all learners, including those with disabilities. It is a way to ensure that teachers have the flexibility to provide multiple means of representation, expression, and engagement in order to reach and engage all learners. UDL does not imply one optimal solution for everyone, but rather recognizes that learners have different strengths, needs, and preferences, and that instruction should be designed to accommodate these differences.
