This new book by inclusion and UDL expert Patti Ralabate aims to dispel long-held myths that can limit educators' views of student potential, provide opportunities for readers to reconsider their current perspectives on learning and student success, and offer strategies that will help educators create unbiased, culturally responsive, and truly inclusive learning environments for all students. Although the term inclusion is historically associated with learning environments for students with disabilities, True Inclusion with UDL is based on the assertion that consciously building inclusive learning environments and communities can be achieved by deliberately braiding several key conceptual and curriculum frameworks, such as culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP), UDL, and collaborative teamwork, creating an environment that is welcoming, respectful, engaging, and safe for each and every learner.
Patricia Kelly Ralabate, Ed.D., joined CAST as Director of Implementation in September 2011 and currently teaches bilingual and special education policy courses for The George Washington University Graduate School of Education and Human Development. Previously, she served as a Boston College postdoctoral fellow-inresidence at CAST, working on universal design for learning leadership issues. As Senior Policy Analyst for special and gifted education for the National Education Association, she was Principal Editor of The Puzzle of Autism, an educator guide on autism spectrum disorder (ASD). She also worked for 25 years with many students with ASD as a speech-language pathologist in Connecticut public schools.
