Why is it important?
The problem with many assessments is they impose barriers for students with learning disabilities who struggle with memory and information processing. This is unfair to these students and doesn’t provide an accurate measurement of their knowledge. Therefore, alternative measures that are accessible to students with learning disabilities must be developed.
Perspectives
I hope this article helps others to be able to create universally designed assessments for their students so that they can demonstrate their full understanding of the topics.
