What does access to learning mean?
![Page 4: Universal Design for Learning: A framework for access and equity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54d23cdc4a79596d078b45e9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Early implementation
Retrofitting
• Solves only one problem
• Can be costly
• Many are UGLY!

Universal design (UD) principles
• Not one size fits all
• Design from beginning; not add on later
• Increase access opportunities for everyone
![Page 6: Universal Design for Learning: A framework for access and equity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54d23cdc4a79596d078b45e9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
UD examples
• Ramps
• Curb cuts
• Electric doors
• Captions on television
• Easy-grip tools

Universal design for learning (UDL)
More ways to access… More ways to participate… More ways to demonstrate learning…
Resulting in more equitable access to…
the general education curriculum for ALL learners
![Page 11: Universal Design for Learning: A framework for access and equity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54d23cdc4a79596d078b45e9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why UDL?
Current instructional practices are not appropriate for all learners
Existence of academic achievement gaps
Benefits of accessibility vs. retrofitting
![Page 12: Universal Design for Learning: A framework for access and equity](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070304/54d23cdc4a79596d078b45e9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Goals of UDL
Improving access, participation & achievement
Eliminating or reducing physical & academic barriers
Valuing diversity through proactive design
