Able Will Suffice

Written by educators who navigate disabilities themselves, this resource is a wealth of firsthand experience and insight into a topic frequently discussed from outside. The book focuses on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) as a key strategy for creating accessible classrooms where all students, regardless of ability, can thrive. Throughout, the authors provide specific UDL strategies to address the broad spectrum of physical, behavioral, developmental, and sensory disabilities teachers may encounter. The book also covers such crucial topics as disability legislation, differentiated instruction, response to intervention, 504 plans, and IEPs, among others. Translating theory to practice, the portfolio activities give both pre-service and in-service teachers opportunities to apply the ideas to their own instruction. A valuable resource for educators committed to equity and accessibility!
