Assistive Technology and Universal design function in the realm of free public and/ or common core state standards by addressing the individual needs of students and the concepts of learner variability. Meaning they are diverse when it comes to the ways in which they addresses the needs of all students. They may address the needs in different ways but they do both address multiple areas of curriculum development. Assistive technology devices are given after a referral and evaluation while UDL are given to everyone but with the understanding that those who need extra support will use the tools when needed. The activity I found uses a smart board I think this is a great way to get children involved. Having the children go up to the board and use it interactively allows the children to have fun but learn at the same time. Looking through the UDL website there were so many great lesson plans and I think this was a very useful tool and can benefit a lot of people.
