Universal Design for Learning Pilot Program
A PATINS Project statewide initiativeSince 2003, the PATINS Project has assisted 52 Indiana schools in implementing Universal Design
for Learning (UDL) principles to the area of literacy/math in their classrooms. Each selected school,
referred to as a pilot site, is committed to a three year partnership with PATINS, creating an action
plan with UDL framework using supportive technology, developing appropriate tools for data
collection, and assessing the effectiveness of their projects on their students.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
Implementation in Six Local Education Agencies
This In Depth Policy Analysis begins with a working definition
of UDL that incorporates the theoretical framework developed by
CAST and the architectural concepts of universal design described
by the Center for Universal Design. UDL is defined as the “proactive
design of curricula (including learning goals, instructional methods
and materials, and assessments) that are accessible and usable by all
students with little or no need for additional accommodations and are compatible with available assistive technology.” Staff from six local educational agencies in five states were interviewed to gather information about UDL practices, successes and challenges.
