Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework that guides the design of learning experiences to proactively meet the needs of all students. Utilizing UDL principles provides learning environments where learning barriers are removed, and all students are provided with equitable opportunities for learning. These principles support the accommodation processes for special population students. The principles of UDL are integrated through three components: multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of student action and expression. By applying these principles, teachers can promote and facilitate equitable learning experiences for all students.
