8. What is the main point?
As teachers we need to try to
reduce disabilities by
changing our ways of
teaching to address different
kinds of student’s thinking.
We should be using creativity
to reach all of our students.
UDL works for every student
so they can get what they
need, become excited about
learing, and feel
accomplished.
