Interaction & The Brain
"Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a
framework to improve and optimize teaching and learning for all people based on scientific insights into
how humans learn." ~ CAST
"Each brain is made up of billions of interconnected neurons that wire together to form unique pathways. We are born with a foundation of brain structures. Over time, these structures change based on our experiences and interactions with our environment."
