About the Project

UDL4CS (Universal Design for Learning for Computer Science) represents a series of initiatives dedicated to advancing accessible, high-quality computer science (CS) and artificial intelligence (AI) education for all students, including those with disabilities. Grounded in the Universal Design for Learning framework, UDL4CS works to ensure that CS and AI classrooms are intentionally designed to reduce barriers, expand participation, and honor learner variability from the outset. We partner with educators, districts, researchers, and community organizations to develop research-based professional learning, practical instructional resources, and systems-level guidance that integrates accessibility and rigorous CS and AI education professional learning experiences to both general and special education teachers. Our work centers on empowering teachers to design flexible learning environments, leverage accessible technologies, and cultivate effective practices so that students with disabilities are not peripheral participants in CS and AI, but are central contributors to the future of computing
