3 Morgan’s Inspiration Island exemplifies the need to design first for those in the margins to create inclusive environments that meet the needs of everyone. This waterpark exemplifies UD as was first developed in architecture. Why wouldn’t we embrace this approach to design in learning? It is easier to embrace universal design elements for obvious visible disabilities. We are still wrestling with universal design for learning disabilities that aren’t so obvious and visible.

5 Universal Design for Learning
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) means a scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice that — provides flexibility in the ways information is presented, in the ways students respond or demonstrate knowledge and skills, and in the ways students are engaged; and reduces barriers in instruction, provides appropriate accommodations, supports, and challenges, and maintains high achievement expectations for all students, including students with disabilities and students who are limited English proficient.
