In 2013, the world will be extremely different… I will be 30 years old. That’s scary. By my 30th birthday, I will hope to increase the awareness and education of the public on an issue that is meaningful to me: traumatic brain injury. Part of my endeavor is to create opportunities for those individuals. I truly believe UDL is the mechanism for this mission. I believe creating programs where all can access - those with invisible abilities and disabilities, those with visible abilities and disabilities – is the key to success, the key to awareness, and the key to educating all.

Wow! You are a baby…and want to save the world, I think it’s wonderful. I believe that you will accomplish those things, and your son will be infiltrated by UDL, especially in the home. I’m almost 40 year’s of age, and the growth in technology has changed tremendously within the past decade, but concepts such as UDL will be tremendous for TBI victims…this concept would help create a better learning environment, and move away from the traditional methods. For example: Short-term goals and objectives on a IEP, which in my experience can be very restrictive for a TBI victim.
Well, Joe by 2013 your son will be five years old, and I hope you will begin to create a legacy with him as it relates to Traumatic Brain Injury and UDL, because he will have the exposure from both side of the spectrum. He will be from a generation that will be able to invent a device to transmit your thoughts, which would be ground breaking for brain injured victims. You know yourself sometimes, what they do isn’t actually what they were thinking..wouldn’t that be fascinating? This concept will help everyone to catapult to the next level. I would also like to see more of this model has it relates to implementing IEP’s. Do you think this model could replace special education if everyone was doing it?
