 * Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for designing educational environments that enable all learners, regardless of ability, to gain knowledge and skills. This is accomplished by reducing barriers to the curriculum and providing support for learning.

This is accomplished through Multiple Pathways: **
 * 1) Equitable Curriculum
 * 2) Flexible Curriculum
 * 3) Simple and Intuitive Instruction
 * 4) Multiple Means of Presentation
 * 5) Success-Oriented Curriculum
 * 6) Appropriate Level of Student Effort
 * 7) Appropriate Environment for Learning
