Document Summary
Define the term universal design for learning (udl) Describe what udl is, who it benefits, and why it matters. Udl is a learning approach that designs curricular materials and activities that have the flexibility to match learners strengths and needs so that they can reach their learning goals. Udl environments consider not only academics but also the physical but also the physical and social environments. Key elements of udl are its flexibility the fact that it works with learners strengths and that it is not one size fits all. The term universal design originally comes to us from the field of architectural studies from the centre of universal design studies in north carolina. Its focus is on planning for accessibility in the initially design of buildings rather than modifying or adapting existing structures. It eliminates the need for retrofitting when a person with accessibility needs arrives.
