Accessibility & Disability Inclusion Statement

 

 

(Universal Design for Learning – UDL Aligned)

 

 

Purpose and Scope

 

 

This project is intentionally designed as an accessible-by-construction educational artifact, aligned with the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Its goal is to support learners with disabilities and diverse learning profiles through deterministic structure, multi-representation, and non-exclusive modes of engagement.

 

The work is suitable for self-paced, assisted, and adaptive learning environments, including higher-education, bridge programs, cybersecurity education, and independent study.

 

 

 

 

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Alignment

 

 

This artifact supports the three core UDL principles:

 

 

1. Multiple Means of Representation

 

 



Concepts are presented through:



symbolic mappings (lattice steps, indices)

geometric visualization (phase circles, discrete steps)

structured data exports (JSON, CSV)

plain-language explanations (8th-grade level summaries)


 

No concept is conveyed through color alone.

Mathematical relationships are expressed both numerically and spatially.


 

 

This supports learners with:

 



low vision

dyslexia

dyscalculia

auditory processing differences

second-language learners


 

 

 

 

 

2. Multiple Means of Engagement

 

 



The system is deterministic and offline, avoiding time pressure or sensory overload.

Learners may explore:



static artifacts

reproducible simulations

worst-case symbol analysis


 

There is no requirement for real-time interaction, live hardware, or continuous attention.


 

 

This supports learners with:

 



ADHD

autism spectrum conditions

fatigue or chronic illness

anxiety related to timed or stochastic systems


 

 

 

 

 

3. Multiple Means of Action and Expression

 

 



Outputs are provided in multiple formats:



Python (executable logic)

JSON / CSV (machine-readable, screen-reader friendly)

PNG (visual reference)


 

Learners can:



inspect

modify

reproduce

annotate results without specialized tools


 


 

 

This supports learners with:

 



motor impairments

assistive input devices

alternative navigation methods

screen readers and accessibility software


 

 

 

 

 

Disability Inclusion Statement

 

 

This work is designed to be inclusive of learners with disabilities, including but not limited to:

 



cognitive disabilities

neurodivergent learning profiles

visual impairments

motor or physical disabilities

temporary or situational disabilities


 

 

Accessibility considerations were integrated from the outset, rather than added retroactively.

 

The project does not rely on:

 



real-time sensory cues

auditory-only instruction

color-dependent meaning

opaque or non-explainable algorithms


 

 

 

 

 

Compliance and Intent

 

 

This artifact is not certified under a specific accessibility standard; however, it is aligned in intent and practice with:

 



Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework

ADA educational access principles

Section 508 design goals (non-exclusive modality, predictable operation)


 

 

The intent is educational inclusion, not medical or assistive device substitution.

 

 

 

 

Educational Use Statement

 

 

This project may be used as:

 



an accessible teaching aid

a disability-supportive curriculum supplement

a bridge or remediation tool

an independent learning artifact


 

 

It is suitable for higher education, cybersecurity programs, and STEM accessibility initiatives.

 

 

 

 

Licensing and Access

 

 

The project is released under the MIT License, permitting free use, modification, and redistribution, including for accessibility adaptation, educational accommodation, and assistive technology integration.
