Keywords: Universal Design for Learning, Learning disability, Paradigm Shift
ABSTRACT The roots of UDL are found in early civil rights and special education legislation that emphasized the right of all students to a free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment (Hitchcock, Meyer, Rose, & Jackson, 2005). The UDL framework was conceived by researchers at the Center for Applied Special Technologies (CAST) in the late 1980s as the result of the alignment of three conceptual shifts: advancements in architectural design, developments in education technology, and discoveries from brain research. Paradigm Shift with emphasis on Power, inequality, and social change is required to perceive disability. Universal design for learning (UDL) is developed to promote cognitive access to education. Paper will deal with the benefits related to the Practices or full participation in the academic or social life of the classroom among Children with learning disabilities. Adopted by education, Universal Design for learning, extends to the development of curriculum and instruction. Universal Design for learning is a "blueprint for creating flexible goals, methods, materials and assessment that work for everyone (CAST, 1998, paragraph 2) Universal design for learning: A guide for teachers & educational professionals, suggested following applications based on principals of UDL. Appropriate environment for learning classroom environment and the curricular materials allows for variations in physical and cognitive access by students as well as for variations in institutional methods; classroom environment allows for varied student grouping; classroom space encourages learning (mason, orkwis & scott, 2005, in instructional theories supporting universal design for learning teaching to individual learners).
