Universal design operates on the principle that providing ALL students with options leads to increased learning outcomes for ALL students, not just students with special needs. I came across a tool today on the Instructify blog. (If you're not a subscriber to that blog, you should be!) The site is called Simply Noise, and it generates a variety of background noises. I tried it today as I was studying, and it really helped me focus. This might be a great tool to share with students in your classroom. (Perhaps you can play some white noise from the site during independent work time.) The site can even generate oscillating noise and it also has a sleep timer. Give it a try-- Feel free to leave your results in the comments!
