Universal Design for Learning (UDL) was created to appeal to most, if not all, learners. Although we should realize that a one-size-fits-all model does not work in education, the goal should be to remove as many barriers as possible. Even if UDL does not provide the ability to eliminate all barriers, the methods utilized through UDL can help to significantly reduce barriers, thus increasing the effectiveness of what is taught in the classroom...and what the students retain in what they have learned
