AI Tools for Implementing UDL

Implementing UDL can often require the teacher to develop multiple versions lesson plans so as to tailor them to individual student needs. While this can be a great deal of work for the teacher:

: "This approach sounds incredible, but I'm already overwhelmed with planning. I just don't have the time to create additional resources to eliminate multiple barriers." 

there are a number of AI-powered tools for educators that can lighten the burden.
