Below is an update from Joy Zabala, Director of Technical Assistance for CAST and the National Center on Accessible Instructional Materials regarding a wonderful new Universal Design for Learning resource.  This was a message orginally posted by Joy on the QIAT listserv.

“CAST  has recently launched the website for the National Center on Universal Design for Learning http://www.udlcenter.org with core content on UDL for teachers, UDL advocates, researchers, and parents. One foundational resource on the website is the UDL Guidelines (http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutudl/udlguidelines) which now include a research bibliography of over 800 references.

 We need your help! We are now moving onto the next phase of gathering, evaluating and posting teacher/parent-friendly examples and resources for each of the UDL Guidelines and would like suggestions from you as to what you’ve found to be useful to learners (both free and commercial products).

So far, we have posted examples and resources for all of Guideline 1 and part of Guideline 2. We would love to get your feedback! (email: udlcenter@cast.org) Please let us know what you think and if you have any other ideas of examples and resources to share! We will send this link out periodically as we move on to post examples and resources for other Guidelines so that we can be sure to get your input! ”
