Inclusion and Engagement in Learning

I liked how your post use real-world examples to connect Universal Design for Learning and Inclusive Learning Design. The part where you discussed how captions on lecture recordings can benefit all learners captured the core of inclusive design. Additionally, I liked your discussion of neurodivergent learning differences and how you highlighted both the challenges and the importance of exposing those differences. The example of the sensory room from the Edutopia video was a strong illustration of what inclusion looks like in practice.

I wonder if you could expand more on how educators might balance flexibility with maintaining academic discipline. For example, how might instructors ensure that multiple means of representation and engagement still align with shared learning goals? Exploring this tension could deepen your already strong argument that inclusion is a mindset, not a checklist.

Your blog was clearly organized and visually engaging. The use of tables and visuals made complex ideas about UDL and neurodiversity very approachable.
