Amir's Story

Photo of Amir Bar Amir came to the summer, 2012 internship at CAST from the University of Houston after learning about UDL. He is currently a graduate student in the Human Resource Development department. Amir's experience as an ELL student with learning disabilities forced him to find individual learning solutions. This has influenced his work in researching and trying to develop multi-sensory tools. These tools not only impart information but also provide deeper understanding of the subject and create tangible skills for learners.
