Accommodations are recommended on an individual basis when students encounter disability-related barriers. However, implementation of many accommodations can benefit all students.
- The social model of disability calls for the collective action of a society to modify the environment and make room for people with disabilities to participate fully in all areas of society
- UDL suggests that accommodations made to meet the needs of one student can benefit all students in your course.
- In an article on how models of disability impact the classroom, three strategies to promote UDL in the classroom are highlighted
- Student Choice - Offering students multiple ways to express their learning by providing different assessment options
- Assistive Technology – Providing students with different ways to access and interact with content
- Post Everything - Posting all learning materials (presentation slides, handouts etc.) offers students a way to refer to course materials or follow along on their own personal devices.
