A language disorder may exhibit itself as delayed speech in a preschooler, as a reading problem in the elementary grades, and as a writing difficulty at the secondary level.
Lerner & Johns, 2015
Can we make a graphic representation of this? Like as the kid grows, they are associated with each of these?

Essentially, UDL is an educational concept or approach to designing instructional methods, materials, activities, and evaluation procedures in an effort to assist individuals with “wide differences in their abilities to see, hear, speak, move, read, write, understand English, attend, organize, engage, and remember” (Orkwis, 2003).

Parents worry inclusion might:• Take the teachers’ attention away from their own
child• Slow the class down to gear lessons to slower
learners• Expose their child to potential behavior issues

Studies have found:• No difference in instructional time or time lost to
interruptions• Children are more compassionate, have better
social skills and higher self-esteem• Children exhibited increased patience with slower
learners and more ease with people with disabilities

Change over time:• Mid-1990s: 48% visual, 19% auditory, 35%
kinesthetic-tactile• 2006: 90% prefer the visual mode• Percentage of learners with visual preferences has
nearly doubled in the past 10 years• What will preferred sensory modes be in 20 years?

• Ask about the present and future student population– Demographics, languages, disabilities, trends
• Ask about issues experienced with learning and behavior– Any beneficial or problematic features in existing facilities
• Talk to Special Education, ESL/ELL, and other specialized teachers – Even if not designing dedicated spaces for these functions
• Question typical assumptions
