The UDL Symposium 2026 is hosted by ADCET

Genio (formerly Glean) creates the #1 recommended note-taking accommodation. Since 2007, we’ve supported 150,000+ learners at 1,700+ institutions with award-winning accessible study tools rooted in learning science and UDL. We aim to equip students with skills and confidence to overcome barriers, study independently, and achieve academic success

Everway partners with higher education and vocational institutions to design inclusive, accessible learning environments at scale.

Through a Universal Design for Learning (UDL) approach, we help institutions reduce cognitive load, make expectations explicit and support variability in how students engage and demonstrate learning. Our solutions support reading, writing, comprehension and executive functioning, and integrate seamlessly into existing learning ecosystems.

We work with learning designers, accessibility and disability teams, and assistive technology specialists to move from reactive accommodations to proactive design, improving student outcomes while reducing staff burden.

Scanning Pens Australia are transforming accessibility by empowering students to read, understand, and learn independently with C-Pens. Designed for learners of all abilities, these lightweight, portable devices scan printed text and read it aloud, instantly supporting those with dyslexia, EAL needs, and other reading challenges.

With built-in dictionaries, language translation, and exam-approved models, C-Pens help boost confidence while reducing reliance on teachers or support staff. Easy to use, they integrate seamlessly into everyday learning. Trusted by educators worldwide, Scanning Pens provide a practical, inclusive solution that enables every learner to access text and reach their full potential.

Captify.live Accessibility, by Bradley Reporting, delivers live captioning that opens every room. We provide human-delivered CART captioning for the Australian tertiary education sector — lectures, tutorials, symposia, conferences, public events, and online learning — together with captioned video for recorded lectures and tutorials.

Our captioners are trained for academic settings, from specialist terminology to international guest speakers. Word perfect. In real time. Every time. We partner with disability practitioners, accessibility teams and student services across the country to make tertiary education genuinely inclusive — for students with disability, for international cohorts, and for every participant in the room.

We are proud to sponsor the ADCET UDL Symposium 2026.

The University of Tasmania serves communities across Tasmania and beyond, with a deep commitment to flexibility, accessibility, and inclusive design in tertiary education.

As proud host of the Australian Disability Clearinghouse on Education and Training (ADCET) for more than 20 years, the University has a longstanding partnership dedicated to disability inclusion and access. Placing inclusion, equity, and learner voice at the centre of everything it does, the University of Tasmania works to ensure that all students, regardless of background or access needs, have the opportunity to thrive.

The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success (ACSES) is dedicated to supporting universities in implementing evidence-based approaches to student equity. We collaborate with institutions to design trials, translate research into practice, and offer grants supporting trials, scale-up projects, and impact evaluations.

ACSES  builds sector capacity through a national capability building program, the Higher Education Equity Database (HEED), and a range of funding opportunities including Equity Fellowships, First Nations Fellowships, and HDR Scholarships. Forums, webinars, and policy symposiums ensure findings reach both practitioners and policymakers.
