National Center on Universal Design for Learning

From the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008….The term UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING means a scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice that:

1. provides flexibility in the ways information is presented, in the ways students respond or demonstrate knowledge and skills, and in the ways students are engaged; and
2. reduces barriers in instruction, provides appropriate accommodations, supports, and challenges, and maintains high achievement expectations for all students, including students with disabilities and students who are limited English proficient.
