BREAKING BARRIERS IMPLEMENTING UNIVERSAL DESIGN FOR LEARNING IN SPECIAL EDUCATION FOR INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Universal or Global Design for Learning (UDL) serves as a skeleton designed to foster inclusive learning environments and curricula tailoring education to address the unique requirements of every student, including with special education requirements. Developed to address the inherent variability among students in contemporary classrooms, UDL offers a flexible approach to teaching and learning, recognizing the differences in strengths, preferences, and challenges that individuals bring to their educational experiences. Concept of breaking barriers and implementing UDL in special education for inclusive environments and curriculum development is a crucial exploration into the transformative potential of this educational framework. At its core, UDL is committed to creating a learning environment that goes beyond traditional limitations, ensuring accessibility and engagement for every student, especially those with special education needs.
