Abstract:
This article sets out the background of an invitation to participate in a ‘Delphi Study on Inclusion,
Guidance Counselling / Career Guidance and Universal Design for Learning’. Today in our ever-
changing uncertain world, making decisions about ‘what to study next’ or ‘what to think about in
terms of career and 'work choice' is not just a challenge but moreover is changing. How we engage
in a guidance relationship is also changing. In fact, everything we know is changing about learning
and work. Yet, learners with a disability have always faced change and uncertainty. In this article
you are invited to first consider the ‘experience of disability in learning’ over recent years. You are
also invited to consider the theories and language that frame our guidance practice as these are
what inclusive approaches in a contemporary guidance setting depend upon. Finally, the authors set
out the development of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and how we as guidance practitioners
may benefit from this. It will be noticeable to readers a great similarity in some of the points and
issues raised here to those in a previous article in this issue
