UDL & CSB

One thing I think would be really helpful to have is to bring together UDL with Cognitive Skill Building (CSB). No one has really heard of this. There are several practitioners over at MGH. It helps people with learning disabilities/differences develop - as the name implies - better skills for processing info. in general and specifically, depending on the person, reading/writing/listening skills. I've done it for several years and found it invaluable. In fact, I can be pretty sure that I never would have gotten in to the Harvard Ed school had I not taken on the CSB. My writing used to be semi-incoherant and now it's definitely readable. I've been told by a few people that I've made huge strides in my writing ability. (One person - who is not given to grandiose statements - said that I've made a "quantum leap." Anyway, I really think that each could benefit from the other. Esp. I think UDL. Although people have been working on UDL for years, CSB, in my opinion is a more developed curriculum. (I'm also biased, admittedly, because I've found CSB invaluable over the last few years.
