The UDL Guidelines are a tool to support educators, curriculum developers, researchers, parents, and more to apply the UDL framework to practice. These guidelines offer a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to any discipline or domain to ensure that all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities.
The UDL Guidelines are organized into three principles: Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression. When a variety of options are available to provide multiple means of approaching each principle, barriers are reduced and access to that principle is increased.
Explore the UDL Guidelines website to access full descriptions of each guideline and associated considerations.
