Universal Design for Learning and its Role in Ensuring Access to Inclusive Education for All

This technical paper, commissioned by International Disability Alliance (IDA) as part
of its Inclusive Education Flagship initiative, aims to inform IDA’s constituency about
Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Based on the thematic review of the literature
of the last 10 years, this paper aims to clarify the concept of UDL as situated within
the broad obligations of fulfilling the right to inclusive education (as defined in the
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Sustainable Development
Goal nº4).
