<p><br></p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Knowledge of Literature (References, Bibliography, Other Sources Cited):</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Cast.org links to its own pages and materials.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Accuracy (Does Information appear accurate? Any Bias or One-Sided Viewpoints Noted?):</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>This is the first I've heard of UDL. The site is promoting its own educational reform movement so that is cast.org's bias.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p><strong>Conclusions: Do You Feel This Site is a Valuable Resource? Justify Your Answer.</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Cast.org has a statistical statement that 5% of middle school disabled students are proficient in writing. However, looking at cast.org's information I infer that the UDL principles are intended for all children.</p>
