As education policy shifts priorities from learning environment access to learning access, Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is emerging as a framework for guiding curricular practices that reduce educational barriers and respect the diversity of learner needs (CAST, 2018; Hehir, 2009; Rose & Meyer, 2002). Grounded in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and learning research, the three principles of UDL focus on (a) multiple means for learning representation; (b) action and expression; and (c) engagement that is effective, efficient, and motivating for students (CAST, 2011; Hehir, 2009). UDL principles emphasize flexible instructional approaches that are responsive to alternative and individualized methods that students employ to learn, navigate through the learning process, demonstrate what they have learned, and remain invested in learning (CAST, 2011). UDL principles are beneficial for: designing alternative approaches for students, families, organizations, and populations to learn about and indicate their understanding of post-secondary resources; developing multiple methods for students to demonstrate mastery of skills for managing their self-care, living in the community, engaging in productive and leisure pursuits, and attending post-secondary education; selecting assistive technologies and tools to optimize transition to work or post-secondary education; and proposing strategies for integrating school-to-community employment.
