CAST Learning Tools

CAST (Center for Applied Special Technology) is a websited dedicated to expanding the learning of all students, especially those with disabilities. Below you will find three resources that I felt are extremely beneficial to teachers who are beginning to implement the UDL in their classroom.

UDL Book Builder: Help your students improve their reading skills with this tool.  Create a book that can be read to the students.  As the book is read, the words being read will be highlighted for the student to follow.  A useful 'coach' can be added to give further explanation of concepts.

UDL Self-Check: This tool will help you identify your strengths and weaknessed in UDL.  Once you complete the self-check, you will have a better idea of where improvement is needed in your teaching practices.

UDL Lesson Builder: This tool will help you design effective UDL lessons to benefit all your students.
