UDL4CS was created to build on and expand pre-existing partnerships between CTRL and our district and state level collaborators. The project seeks to address the meaningful inclusion of students with disabilities in K-8 CS education by creating expanded opportunities for data sharing and the creation of teacher professional development opportunities based around Universal Design for Learning.  

These materials are designed as a launching point for teacher professional development. They are intended to be applied and customized across context to individual user needs.  

The materials developed for UDL4CS are intended to be used by the broad CS education community. If you are a content provider, teacher, coach or other professional with expertise in including students with disabilities in K-8 CS education, we would love to hear from you. We do have the resources to work with a select group of practitioners. See contact information above.
