In the image above, the graduation cap is centered on circuit board as the Central Processing Unit (CPU), the brain of the computer. All circuits point to the graduation cap, symbolizing expert learning. So what is a CPU, and how does it relate to UDL? Universal Design for Learning (UDL) centralizes all instructional curricula, assessment, and means of engagement to reduce learning barriers for all students, specifically those with learning disabilites. Centralizing UDL to function like the CPU, all incoming and outgoing practices and instructions, of such, begin with UDL implementation.
