6 Talking Word Processor (AT) Donald Redmiles http://www.premierathome.com/products/TalkingWordProcessor.php

7 Whisper Phones (UDL) Students can read softly and hear themselves load and clear Isolates their voice from those around them Philip Gibson http://www.righttrackreading.com/phonicsphones.html

8 Audio Books (AT) Students hear proper pronunciation and fluency from a piece of text Students read along while listening Philip Gibson http://www.recordedbooks.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=rb.home

9 Large Print Books (AT) Students with vision problems benefit from larger text Philip Gibson https://largeprintschoolbooks.com/perfect_match.html

10 Reading Window (AT) Isolates words or sentences on a page Allows students to focus on one or two words at a time Philip Gibson http://readingwindow.org/home/chapter-1-making-reading-windows/

11 Reading Pen (AT) Students scan text and the pen reads it aloud Allows students to focus comprehension, not decoding Philip Gibson http://www.wizcomtech.com/usaeng/catalog/a/readingpen/default2.asp?type=0

12 Talking Calculator/Calculator (AT) Similar to the talking pen Helps students focus on understanding the operations rather than calculation Ben Casto http://fastrabbitsoftware.com/talking_calculator.htm

13 Virtual Manipulatives (UDL) Students have infinite manipulatives with an infinite combination of colors/shapes Have some of the same abilities to handle, rotate, turn, examine the manipulatives http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.htmlhttp://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.htmlBen Casto

14 Electronic Math Worksheets (UDL) Automatically graded Accessible from anywhere there is a computer and internet connection Ben Casto http://www.greatschools.org/special-education/assistive- technology/electronic-math-worksheets.gs?content=952

15 Math Curricular Software (UDL) Helps increase comprehension in students who use the software Fun! Easy to use! Usually colorful! Ben Casto http://mathblaster.com/

16 Graph Club (UDL) Helps students create meaningful and relevant graphs Students are able to narrate their graphs with audio posts Ben Casto http://www.tomsnyder.com/products/product.asp?SKU=GRPV2

17 Cooperative Learning (UDL) Method of teaching that addresses student’s individual abilities and learning preferences/needs by changing delivery or assignments to meet individual needs Examples: Providing notes outlines; assigning varying quantities/types of classwork; providing more advanced work for gifted learners Laurel Matthew Source: National Center on accessible Instructional Materials http://aim.cast.org/learn/historyarchive/backgroundpapers/differentiated_instruction_udl http://www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/bestpractice/coop/index.html

18 Cooperative Learning (UDL) Utilizes small group dynamics and engages students in collaborative, meaningful tasks. Examples: group investigations, think-pair-share Laurel Matthew Source: National Center on accessible Instructional Materials http://aim.cast.org/learn/historyarchive/backgroundpapers/differentiated_instruction_udl http://www.saskschools.ca/curr_content/bestpractice/coop/index.html

19 Graphic Organizers (UDL) Visual representation of connections between ideas, information, or activities Examples: concept maps, advance organizers, story webs, semantic maps, Laurel Matthew Source: National Center on accessible Instructional Materials http://aim.cast.org/learn/historyarchive/backgroundpapers/differentiated_instruction_udl

20 Anchored Instruction (UDL) Instructional method that “anchors” curriculum activities around a contextualized case study or scenario. Examples: scenarios, problem based activities Laurel Matthew National Center on accessible Instructional Materials http://aim.cast.org/learn/historyarchive/backgroundpapers/differentiated_instructi on_udl http://4.17.143.133/ncac/AnchoredInstruction1663.cfm http://www.ed.psu.edu/NASA/achrtxt.html

21 Simulations/Virtual Reality (UDL) An experiential situation of realistic models of ideas and concepts Examples: lemonade stand to simulate a store, build model villages, computer program to design city Laurel Matthew National Center on accessible Instructional Materials Universal Design for Learning: A Guide for Teachers & Educators http://aim.cast.org/learn/historyarchive/backgroundpapers/differentiated_instruction_udl http://www.ed.psu.edu/NASA/achrtxt.html
