Do you struggle with making ALL students a part of your learning environment?

You’ve been learning about Universal Design for Learning. You understand how crucial it is that all students view themselves as part of your learning environment. But when students with intellectual or developmental disability (IDD) are in your class, you might struggle with making them part of your learning community.

This session will provide you with a model, connections to the UDL framework, and examples for membership – something all students should experience.
