Abstract
The authors discuss ways that the Universal Design for Learning principles and guidelines help educators move beyond just providing access to content, enabling us to instead move toward providing access to quality learning experiences—those that help all learners achieve their full potential. When the curriculum is designed in a way that removes barriers and minimizes irrelevant demands, learners with autism spectrum disorder can and do learn and progress in the general education curriculum.
