Universal Design in Higher Education: From Principles to Practice

Universal Design in Higher Education: From Principles to Practice, 2nd edition was published by Harvard Education Press and developed as part of the AccessCollege project, which was funded by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (grant #P333A050064).

This book showcases the perspectives and expertise of forty-one students with disabilities, practitioners, and researchers that represent twenty-six postsecondary institutions and other organizations. They illustrate how the application of universal design can create inclusive instruction, student services, physical spaces, and information technology. The broad scope of experience shared by the authors makes this book appropriate as a guide to campus leaders and as a textbook for college and university courses that explore current disability, diversity, design, special education, and related topics.

In the Foreword, Michael K. Young, President of the University of Washington, notes, “This book makes a compelling case for adopting universal design in all postsecondary offerings in order to support a diverse educational community and an inclusive approach to academic excellence. There is something here for everyone.” Explore a review of the book written by Professor Alan Hurst.
