Ambassadors and Partners

Ambassadors

UDL Ambassador Program – bringing together leading organizations with a strong interest in UDL implementation to help us reach a national audience of educators, researchers, families and policy advocates.

UDL Ambassadors are helping to shape the future direction of the National Center’s work by

• collaborating in the dissemination of UDL research and implementation resources to their broad constituencies;
• sharing their advice and expertise in high-interest topics of mutual interest; and
• serving on the UDL Advisory Council for the National Center on UDL
