Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the role of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in inclusive settings in which students with and without disabilities learn and gain knowledge. Five teachers from Kuwait participated in the study. Twenty-five consecutive observations were conducted to derive the primary data for this study. Interviews with the teachers were also used to support/add to the study’s results. Findings indicate that UDL is effective in engaging all students, including those with disabilities. The results also found that although teachers may have basic knowledge of UDL, they need more training and practice to successfully address the needs of all students, including students with disabilities.
