When family advocacy for Universal Design for Learning creates unexpected conflict

My teenage daughter has an IEP and I've been advocating for more UDL practices at her school, but she's starting to push back and says my involvement is making her feel more different, not less, even though I thought UDL was supposed to help all students blend in.

A parent's well-intentioned advocacy for inclusive education is inadvertently highlighting rather than reducing their child's sense of difference.
