Wired for Equity: Bridging the Disability Gap in Classrooms

This event was cohosted by New America and CAST. It convened learners with disabilities, educators, policy experts, and technology leaders to discuss what matters in design, practices, and policies so Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can move from a framework to a practical application in supporting access in classrooms. The panels explored experiences that learners with disabilities face, how educators are utilizing emerging AI tools to scale accessibility, the impact of recent federal funding shifts on special education research, and how to design accessible curricula that meet all learners’ needs. ==================================== We are dedicated to renewing the promise of America by continuing the quest to realize our nation's highest ideals, honestly confronting the challenges caused by rapid technological and social change, and seizing the opportunities those changes create.
