Q: What is Universal Design for Learning?
A: Universal Design for Learning is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn.

materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single,
one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be
customized and adjusted for individual needs.
