Hi everyone,
I'm currently enrolled in a class at the Grad level. This class deals with Assistive Technology (AT) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). AT and UDL are used in schools all over the world. The main purpose of AT is to allow special education students the ability to flourish; with out the aid this technology these individuals might not be able to communicate, walk, or hear. Some examples of AT are braille, walkers, hearing aids, iPads (communication, notes, etc).
This blog will take a closer look at assistive technology and the UDL model. UDL in it's simplest form is a curriculum that gives all students the ability to learn in their own way with flexibility.

This blog is presented in a bright, attractive, and compelling manner. Text is clear and easy to read and the children from around the world holding hands around "the world" is a great image that nicely represents the unity implicit in UDL. This image ties in well with the message that UDL is used throughout the world to minimize barriers and maximize flexibility in learning.
