CAST is a nonprofit education research & development organization best known for creating the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework and Guidelines—tools now used around the world to design more inclusive and flexible learning environments.

The California Coalition for Inclusive Learning (CCIL) is a collaborative partnership between CAST and six county offices of education across California: Fresno, Imperial, Los Angeles, Placer, San Joaquin, Santa Clara, and Sonoma. The coalition also includes two Geographic Lead Agencies—the Capital Central Foothill Areas and the Valley to Coast Collaborative.

This work is made possible through the support of the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (CCEE) and the California Department of Education (CDE), working together to strengthen inclusive practices and ensure every learner has access to meaningful, high-quality education.
