Universal Design for Learning

Inspiration for UDL

Universal Design (UD) was originally developed in architecture. Architects implemented accessibility during initial stages of development instead of modifying access after completion. While stairs are not beneficial for everybody, removing barriers and designing other options to enter public building/entrances allowed everyone to enter and exit (Laureate Education, Inc., 2009).

Examples in Physical Environment:

Curb Cuts
Elevators
Ramps
Wider Doors
Flat Entrances
