Universal Design for Learning or UDL was the offspring of the initial universal design (UD) concept in architecture. The basic thought of UD was to "anticipate the needs of individual with disabilities and accommodate these needs from the onset" ( Hall, Stangeman, & Meyer, 2009, para 26). Once the items were designed, it became obvious that the new designs would not only benefit those with disabilities but everyone.

 "Curb cuts, for example, serve their intended use of facilitating the travel of those in wheelchairs, but they are also beneficial to  people pushing strollers, young children, and even the average walker. And so, the process of designing for individuals with  disabilities has led to improved usability for everyone" ( Hall, Stangeman, & Meyer, 2009, para 26).

Some other examples of UD designs are examples:
 * automatic doors
 * wider sliding doors
 * storage places in places of reach for short and tall people
 * support grab bars in bath tub

Much the universal design of general concepts, the thought to created curriculums to benefit derived. In the same manner that curricula designs can benefit those with various learning abilitied, those same designs can be of help to all students.
