Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a guide for learning. It consists of fundamental instructions for developing a curriculum that is flexible and suitable giving all learners an equal opportunity to learn. UDL puts the individual learning needs of each student first to help the student accomplish successful learning. UDL produces a customized approach to learning (that is flexible and adjustable) for the student according to their learning style. UDL recognizes the different learning styles, skills, and strengths and weaknesses that students have. It provides the resources that are needed to help each individual student to succeed at learning. It provides educators with the resources to help each student to learn in the classroom. UDL also provides tools to help produce varied assessment methods, differentiated instructions, and ways to allow students to meet and use their strengths in the mastery of content material. UDL set the path for IDEA (Individual Disability Education Act) to help make learning possible, more enjoyable and more accessible for all students with learning disabilities. Also stemming from UDL is the NIMAS (National Instruction Materials Assessment Standard). It is an important Act in the U.S. which grants students with print disabilities the right to receive any material that they may need to improve their learning ability. media type="youtube" key="bDvKnY0g6e4" height="197" width="264" align="center"
