Applying Universal Design in Learning to Recreational Therapy Classrooms
Session Description
Recreational therapy is a field that focuses on the use of leisure and recreational activities to enhance the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social well-being of individuals with disabilities or limitations. As educators and professionals in RT, it is essential to ensure that our curriculum promotes inclusivity, accessibility, and equitable learning opportunities for all students. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) provides a framework that can guide us in achieving these goals.
Learning Outcomes
1. Articulate the three key principles of UDL and explain how to apply the principles to RT curricula
2. Identify at least two challenges or barriers to inclusive learning
3. Develop an action plan of at least three strategies to integrate UDL principles in a RT course
