UDL Universal Design for Learning

Joseph Casbarro, Ph.D. Given the prevelance of student diversity, schools are struggling to find ways to help with the implementation of CCSS. One key to meeting the challenge of the wide range of student learning styles, socio-economic backgrounds and life experiences, is the use of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Originally developed to address the instructional needs of students with disabilities, UDL is now being embraced as an answer to creating learning environments where all students, regardless of their individual differences, can meet the CCSS.

The Common Sense of Differentiation:

DVD Series

Meeting Specific Learner Needs in the Regular Classroom

Use the DVD and accompanying Facilitator’s Guide to visit elementary, middle, and high school classes to see how a differentiated approach helps to identify the learning needs of students and adapt instructional plans to maximize success for each learner. Program 1, Discovering Learner Needs, examines how teachers identify/understand learner needs by: Assessing students’ status related to the prerequisites for a particular course unit; Preassessing students’ knowledge, understanding, and skills that are the focus of an upcoming unit; and Using ongoing assessment to understand each student’s progress toward essential goals. Program 2, Techniques for Adjusting Instruction, helps teachers explore techniques for addressing students’ diverse learning needs. Teachers explain and demonstrate how they determine “clusters” of learning needs among their students and use a range of techniques to help students draw on their strengths and overcome learning problems. Program 3, Classroom Routines, explores routines that help teachers address learner needs in ways that are comfortable and predictable for both teachers and students. Scenes from elementary and secondary classrooms demonstrate classroom routines that anticipate and address variance in learner needs and support differentiation.

A Different Way of Seeing Autism

For Students with Moderate and Severe Disabilities

Barry M. Prizant

For Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum and Related Disorders: Changing

G. Courtade, Ph.D. & D. Browder, Ph.D. This succinctly presented book provides a clear framework for aligning academic content for students with an intellectual disability.

Autism is usually portrayed as a checklist of deficits, including difficulties interacting socially, problems in communicating, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. This perspective leads to therapies focused on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms. Dr. Prizant offers a new and compelling paradigm: the most successful approaches to autism don’t aim at fixing a person by eliminating symptoms, but rather seeking to understand the individual’s experience and what underlies the behavior. 2015, paperback, 240 pages Item # UHDW-FA15 $25.00
