Join Free →Universal Design for Learning (UDL) involves proactively planning classroom learning experiences to ensure all students can access learning in meaningful and equitable ways. While behavior analysts working in educational settings with students with disabilities may recognize the concepts of UDL in their clinical work, this approach is beneficial to many or most of the population, including students of behavior analysis in our graduate programs. Incorporating UDL can provide students with varying neurotypes, disabilities, identities, and past histories of reinforcement the opportunity to learn in a way that works best for them. Key components of UDL, including presenting information, activities/assignments, and modes of engagement in multiple formats, will be discussed, as will the ways in which the utilization of UDL can model inclusivity in the classroom and foster compassion for the future behavior analysts in the field. We will review how UDL intersects with accessibility and provide examples of how we have incorporated UDL in our behavior analysis graduate programs.
