We envision a world where all learning experiences in school, the workplace, and life are intentionally designed to elevate strengths and eliminate barriers so everyone has the opportunity to grow and thrive.

“The mission has remained the same — to put the guiding principles of Universal Design for Learning to work in learning environments everywhere and to empower others to do the same, with quality, care, and respect for all.” Larry Goldberg, former Head of Accessibility, Yahoo!
