Universal Design Within Student Affairs: Proactive Design For Inclusion And Engagement
Registration Fee: $345.00

Tuesday, February 14 ~ 1:00-2:30pm EST
Institutions of Higher Education continue to strive to retain and engage all students. One way that this has been addressed specifically for students with disabilities over the past decade is through the application of Universal Design (UD) regarding reduction of physical barriers, and the application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) regarding reduction of academic barriers (Belch, 2004; Getzel, 2008). The principles and framework of UD have been well established; notably summarized by Burghstahler and Cory (2008). As the focus on UD has increased, the value of UD beyond people with disabilities has gained positive attention (Harper & Quaye, 2009). Originally created as a framework for architecture, UD has expanded to applications inside and outside of the classroom; its very nature spurning users to think creatively and expansively.
