Universal Design Learning
Definition: s a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal
opportunities to learn. UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials,
and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible
approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.The main goal is to maximize
the learning of students with a wide range of characteristics by applying UD principles to all aspects
of instruction.

Key Points:
1) UDL creates an environment that
meets the needs of many
potential users who all have
distinctive characteristics, and
this includes students with
disabilities.
2) UDL suggests that each student
learns in a unique manner so a
one-size-fits-all approach is not
effective. By creating options for
how instruction is presented,how
students express their ideas, and
how teachers can engage students
in their learning,instruction can
be customized and adjusted to
meet individual student needs.

Universal Design Principles:
-Equitable- the design is useful and marketable to people with diverse
abilities.
-Flexibility - the design accommodates a wide range of individual
preferences and abilities.
-Simple and intuitive- use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of
the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration
level..
-Perceptible information- the design communicates necessary information
effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory
abilities.
-Tolerance for error- the design minimizes hazards and the adverse
consequences of accidental or unintended actions.
-Low physical effort- the design can be used efficiently,
comfortably, and with a minimum of fatigue.
-Size and space for approach and use- appropriate
size and space is provided for approach, reach,
manipulation, and use regardless of the user's body
size, posture, or mobility.
