In this presentation, we will discuss how faculty members can incorporate inclusive teaching methods to promote increased accessibility for a range of students with diverse learning needs. We will describe the main tenets of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and ways that instructors can reflect on their teaching practices to incorporate elements of UDL into their courses through incremental pedagogical changes.

Learning Objectives:
