The current paper explicates our
conceived theoretical structure of UDL1 and UDL2 as
applied to children with autism in the CTL framework
of VDAI incorporating four core educational
orientations (i.e., academic rationalism, development
of cognitive skills, conative and affective processes,
personal relevance, and societal
adaptation/reconstruction). The thinking and the
principles behind the requirements, issues and tensions
are discussed with our proposal of the need to reach an
effective balance that is to be derived from practical
use with the spectrum of diverse needs evident in
individuals with autism.
