The present study addresses the need for UDL applications in developing an inclusive classroom and the degree to which such applications assist the diverse learning needs of differently-abled learners. The methodology follows a rapid review of the available literature, a review of twenty-five papers published from 2001 to 2023 was undertaken. The findings suggest that UDL applications are based on three concepts of brain networks as developed by CAST, UDL grants equal access to students with varying needs, technology applications enhance the utility of UDL and teacher pre-service training should have exposure to UDL concepts.
