Benefits of Universal Design for Learning to Promote the Success of Students with Disabilities and Culturally Diverse: A Literature Review
By By Veronica Zeppa Pacheo
This issue of NASET’s Practical Teacher series was written by Veronica Zeppa Pacheo. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an educational approach that aims to provide every student with equal opportunities for success. When teachers observe their students, they can determine the learners’ strengths. Based on that, educators can create and incorporate methods and practices that benefit and help the outcomes of individuals. Using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework in instructions allows teachers to create a flexible and inclusive learning environment that accommodates the needs of all students. Inclusive classrooms are orientated to promote equal opportunities for students as teachers incorporate programs and assistive technology to personalize students' learning experiences and promote their independence. This paper will examine the benefits of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in the classroom to promote the success of students with disabilities and culturally diverse while reviewing six research articles obtained from Google Scholar and ResearchGate.
