Universal Learning Design is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn. The picture above shows us how our nation's educational system is. Students need options that will suit them and help them succeed. Just because one thing is working for one child does not mean that it will work for the next.
UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone. There is not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs. We are all different, we all have different needs.
