Hello Jackie,
The point you made yesterday about UD is right on target. UD/Universal
Design for Learning, they are usually used interchangeable, will benefit
many students with or without disabilities.

Dr. Lee,

I am very interested in universal design (UD). UD will change how teachers
teach, will benefit many students with and without disabilities, and I
believe will "de-stigmatized" persons with physical and hidden disabilities.
My question: Are the general principles of UD different from the Universal
Design for Learning principles?  It is my understanding that UD is a design
for all people no matter the ability, because UD is a user-friendly design
(tolerance for error) and flexibility.

Thanks, and I am looking forward to your continued discussion on the
listserv.
