DESCRIPTION
This is a recording of a NISE Network online brown-bag conversation held in 2012 that focuses specifically on NISE Net's Universal Design Guide for Public Programs, and provides examples of universal design in a few NISE Net programs.
What is Universal Design?

- UD Programs Concept 1 – Repeat and reinforce the main ideas and concepts
- UD Programs Concept 2 – Make multiple entry points and multiple ways of engagement available.

Technical difficulties with recording
Two important notes: the captions start up at about two minutes in. The recording also stops midway through the "UD Programs Concept 3 – Provide physical and sensory access to all aspects of the program" section due to technical difficulties.
