AT was first defined in the mid-1980s in the federal Technology-Related Assistance for Individuals with Disabilities Act (Tech Act) as:

"Any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially or off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of people with disabilities."

UDL was originally introduced for designing architecture. The idea of curb cuts was originated from this concept. It made sidewalks and street crossings accessible to people in wheelchairs, but also assisted in helping people riding bikes, pushing strollers, or rollerblading. The idea that this change or modified everyday item can now be used inclusively is exceptional. Many parents shy away from technologies that may cause their student to stand out or be identified as special needs. The use of UDL in classrooms is incredibly inclusive. This also encourages children to become more self aware and learn what works for them. As adults, it is likely that you have developed tactics to help you complete your work or that you used in school for studying. By using UDL practices and concepts, students will be encouraged to develop these strategies on their own and also use those that are provided. Instruction in the classroom that utilizes the ideas of UDL is inclusive and adaptable. No student should be singled out for needing information presented in a different way. This can be used with small things such as allowing students to choose what type of paper to write on, or choosing to use counting blocks in math or a number line. ALL resources should be available at all times and the lesson should be done with considerations of being all inclusive. Below, we have shared the guidelines when considering Universal Design for Learning. Your child's teacher should already be aware of these concepts and processes, but we want to provide a resource for parents to understand the reasons behind certain decisions regarding their child.
For additional information and a more expansive description of UDL and all of the benefits, please read this attached article. It is a great starting point for parents to see and learn about Universal Design for Learning and find out ways to implement the concepts at home, at school, and in your child's everyday life.

This website provides videos and sample lessons for first grade through sixth grade. Much of this material can also be adapted to assist with older children as well.
