·         Offering various instructional resources, this brief book explains the general principles of UDL and shows educators how to effectively instruct students utilizing this research-based concept across content areas.

 

·         Incorporating technology throughout the guide, this book encourages teachers to integrate assistive technology in order to provide all students greater access to learning.
