We speak with Sarah Guglielmi, instructional consultant for accessible and inclusive pedagogy, about linking ADA Title II updates with Universal Design for Learning to create more effective courses.The episode covers UDL as a planning mindset for learner variability and offers practical fixes—clear headings, accessible slides, strong color contrast, meaningful alt text, and captions and transcripts. We also share how to pace the work by focusing on one Spring 2026 course and building small, sustainable improvements.These strategies meet ADA Title II requirements while helping students engage, persist, and show what they know.
