Abstract
Universal design for learning (UDL) is an instructional design framework aimed at creating expert learners by reducing barriers to learning. Rooted in scholarship, UDL is a promising tool to support educators of learners who are deaf with disabilities; yet it is necessary to explore what is known about implementing UDL within this population. This chapter provides readers with foundational knowledge of UDL including its history, development, significance, core concepts, and guidelines. Scholarly evidence regarding UDL implementation is highlighted and gaps within the population of learners who are deaf with disabilities are noted. Teaching scenarios from preschool through high school illustrate how teachers of learners who are deaf with disabilities can use UDL-based strategies to promote independence, literacy, and generalization. Action steps for professionals to foster and promote UDL for learners who are deaf with disabilities are provided.
