- Abstract
Increasing numbers of students with disabilities in higher education have served, in part, as a catalyst for reexamining access and instruction in colleges and universities. Universal Design related to instruction and learning (UD-IL) in postsecondary education is a widely referenced practice often regarded as evidence-based. This literature synthesis reviews empirical articles on UD-IL models specific to postsecondary settings and matriculated students with disabilities. Findings support not only a paucity of empirical research, but also further illustrate a considerable disparity between the total number of articles on UD-IL and the limited number of studies including either group designs or measures of learning outcomes. Implications associated with UD-IL as an evidence-based practice and recommendations for improving future research are identified.
