AI and UDL in Special Education Teacher Preparation: CIDDL Research Brief

Published by CIDDL and authored by Dr. Samantha Goldman, this brief explores how LUDIA, an AI chatbot trained specifically in Universal Design for Learning, helps pre-service and in-service teachers design inclusive lessons, drawing on insights from LUDIA co-creators Beth Stark and Jérémie Rostan. Unlike general-purpose AI, LUDIA offers UDL-grounded, contextually relevant guidance for lesson planning. The brief encourages teacher-preparation programs to model curiosity about AI, apply UDL principles when adopting new tools, and keep teachers in ongoing feedback loops so technology reduces, rather than creates, barriers for diverse learners.
