UDL bridges ideals and best practices to make equal education for all students a reality. The visionaries and researchers at CAST have led the charge to define UDL and deliver it into practice. Like the concept itself, this book is a single resource, one that provides access to the many facets of UDL. The variety of resources within this book informs us what UDL is, why it matters, and how to do it. — David Scanlon, Lynch School of Education, Boston College

Over the past decade, researchers at CAST pioneered the concept of Universal Design for Learning. The Universally Designed Classroom is a timely and comprehensive examination of the issues pertaining to UDL, from definition and conceptualization to implementation. This book is a blueprint to turn promise into reality. — Michael L. Wehmeyer, University of Kansas, and Director, Kansas University Center on Developmental Disabilities

The Universally Designed Classroom provides a rich understanding of how and why all classroom instruction can be fully accessible to every child. Finally, we have a complete reference on what UDL means, why it is important, and how to use its principles in designing curriculum and instruction. — Patti Ralabate, Senior Professional Associate for Special Needs, National Education Association
