Universal Design for Learning

Universal Design combines form and function to improve the experience for all users. Take this outdoor space as an example: People can use the gradual incline of the ramps, or they can use the stairs with or without railings. This space is accessible to a wide range of users – people who walk, use bicycles, strollers, or wheelchairs; people who prefer to hold a railing or people who would like to walk in a few different directions on their way up to the top. This outdoor space is a great example of how good design benefits everyone.
