UDL and Academic Accommodations: A Wraparound Approach to Inclusive Support and Student Growth

General education teachers often experience tension between implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and providing individualized accommodations for students with disabilities. This interactive session introduces the “UDL wraparound” model—a three-part framework that combines UDL’s broad strategies for accessibility and engagement, targeted accommodations for specific learning needs, and long-term development of executive functioning skills. By using this model, educators can create more inclusive classrooms, streamline individualized supports, and foster greater student independence, self-regulation, and advocacy. Practical tools and real-world classroom examples will be shared to enhance inclusive teaching and more effectively meet the needs of diverse learners.
