A No-Tech/Low-Tech Integration of UDL–”Fantastic!”

A No-Tech/Low-Tech Integration of UDL–”Fantastic!” | Design for All | Scoop.it

 

"As the CCSS has been crafted with principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to support inclusive access for all students with identified learning needs and/or disabilities, English Learners, linguistic minority students, as well as students from fragile families, many educators respond with concern that without technological resources, they feel challenged to design instruction to meet the diverse needs of their students. While technology can provide expanded access, there are many “no-tech and low-tech” options that many teachers utilize that are also UDL-considerate." - Jennifer Finney-Ellison

Wheelchair Becky, Friend of Barbie

Wheelchair Becky, Friend of Barbie | Design for All | Scoop.it
Blast from the past: Share a Smile Becky was a wheelchair-using Barbie brand doll produced by Mattel back in the '90s. 

In a case of toy imitating life, the original doll’s wheelchair didn’t fit through the door of the Barbie Dream House, and her long blond locks were a problem – they easily got caught in her wheelchair wheels. In addition, her initial “Wheelchair Becky” moniker painted her as sort of one-note. So the people at Mattel did some rejigging and reintroduced her as “Share a Smile Becky,” with a smaller wheelchair and shorter hair. The new and improved first issue of the dolls flew off the shelves, selling out in two weeks.

Madeleine Gray's insight:

You think Barbie has it hard, trapped in her anatomically impossible body. Spare a thought for "Share a Smile Becky": "In a case of toy imitating life, the original doll’s wheelchair didn’t fit through the door of the Barbie Dream House"
