Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework, created by the Center for Applied Special Technologies (CAST), is grounded in extensive research and years of practical implementation. Its goal is to foster inclusive and effective learning experiences for students of all abilities, levels, and backgrounds. CAST has developed the UDL Guidelines, a set of principles and prompts designed to help educators enhance learning environments for every student. UDL principles can also be applied beyond classrooms, in settings like homes, meetings, and professional development. Explore the interactive UDL guidelines and resources to learn more.
