Nothing Without Us with Amy Lomellini
think it’s important to recognize that students with disabilities are in your course, period full stop. It doesn’t matter what you teach, it doesn’t matter what subject, what level, what grade, you know, none of that matters. They’re there. And if we can start with that assumption, and start with that perspective, we can recognize some bias, we can reflect on on where we’re at.
Tobin and Behling called reach everyone, teach everyone, UDL in higher education, and they have a plus one approach, but I think it’s really important sometimes that plus one gets conflated with just add another thing. And that is by no means not to speak for them, but I’m very sure that’s not what they mean. So they have this strategy of finding a pinch point, so find a place in your course that’s not necessarily working as well. Maybe students are struggling. Maybe you’re not sure. You know you’re not getting the results that you thought something’s happening. And use that one place as your starting point. You have to start somewhere.
