Supporting Learning and Participation for ALL by eliminating barriers to learning.

Open Access is committed to fostering inclusive and equitable educational systems.

Designed to build capacity through systemic implementation, we utilize evidence-based practices aligned with the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to support

all learners’ engagement, communication, and participation.​

We
Believe...

All students can achieve meaningful access to high-quality curriculum,

instruction, and active participation in learning when UDL principles are applied across all environments. By nurturing learner agency, we empower every student to take ownership of their learning journey, growing as purposeful and reflective,

resourceful and authentic, and strategic and action-oriented individuals.​

Implement

The principles of Universal Design for Learning
across all learning environments.

Incorporate

Digital tools and Assistive Technologies (AT)
into the design of instruction
and measurement of learning.

Provide

Access to Augmentative Alternative Communication (AAC) strategies
and supports and a commitment to building communication competence
for students with complex communication needs.
