Abstract	Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a theoretical paradigm that advocates educational success for the highest proportion of students possible. Many countries have embraced this philosophy as a way of providing an environment that addresses learner's diverse needs. Historically, learners with certain special needs have been denied full participation in the school's daily activities due to infrastructure barriers and community attitudes. They have been denied access to education, participation in community's cultural events, recreation, and transportation due to their challenges. Although it is rather difficult to get accurate global statistics of people with special needs, the estimate is that more than 1 billion of the world population (15% of the world's population) live with some form of disabilities (World Health Organization, 2011).
