This is a fantastic resource providing simple suggestions to improve universal design within the classroom. These items could be easily implemented by someone with no experience in universal design and would have a big impact on students of all abilities and their participation in the classroom environment.

This was a great quick checklist for things that can be easily implemented in the classroom. I think this is a great tool for professors/teachers and students (when they have to present). I also like that there is a second page with a more detailed description of the items on the checklist that explains why/how it helps.

It took me several years of struggling with the heavy door to my building, sometimes having to wait until a person stronger came along, to realize that the door was an accessibility problem, not only for me, but for others as well. And I did not notice, until one of my students pointed it out, that the lack of signs that could be read from a distance at my university forced people with mobility impairments to expend a lot of energy unnecessarily, searching for rooms and offices. Although I have encountered this difficulty myself on days when walking was exhausting to me, I interpreted it, automatically, as a problem arising from my illness (as I did with the door), rather than as a problem arising from the built environment having been created for too narrow a range of people and situations.
