Abstract

One of Universal Design for Learning principles suggests to “design multiple means of representation” (CAST, 2024) and it can be applied to text accessibility by granting 1) readability and legibility, 2) disambiguation of terms and symbols, and 3) support to comprehension through various means. Text simplification is often mentioned as a possibility offered by AI for struggling readers. In this contribution we argue that it can efficiently be combined with intelligent tutoring systems in order to achieve better results that are in line with UDL guidelines.
