A resolution celebrating 40 years of Universal Design for Learning.

S.Res. 723 is a Senate resolution celebrating the 40th anniversary of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a framework for creating inclusive educational environments. The resolution recognizes UDL’s role in helping educators remove barriers to learning for all students - including those with disabilities - by promoting flexible teaching methods, accessible materials, and adaptable learning spaces. It commends researchers, educators, and advocates who have advanced UDL over four decades, noting its integration into federal education policies like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Every Student Succeeds Act. The resolution has no binding effect but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of UDL’s impact on making education more accessible nationwide.
