Say Yes to Address AT: Create a New Assistive Technology Culture Informed by New AT Guidance

The NETP (U.S. Department of Education, Office of Educational Technology, 2024), A Call to Action for Closing the Digital Access, Design, and Use Divides, emphasizes UDL as a foundation for creating educational environments that serve all learners, including those with disabilities. In the 113-page plan, UDL is regularly discussed and central to its recommendations. As a field, we have seen UDL grow from its humble beginnings from the Center of Applied Special Technology (now called CAST) to UDL being a central foundation of the NETP. We helped to make that happen.
