Teaming and Collaboration

The UDL principles provide for collaboration among team members to address and adapt the curriculum to meet the individual needs of all learners. Collaboration is the key in developing and supporting specially-designed instructional strategies for learners with deafblindness. Each team member brings their specific skill set to the planning and implementation process.
