Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a practical, research-based framework that enables all educators to respond to individual learning differences through the design of inclusive goals, methods, materials, assessments, and environments.
Universal Design for Learning: Principles, Framework, and Practice, Third Edition—the latest update of Anne Meyer and David Rose’s foundational text, Universal Design for Learning: Theory & Practice (2014)—provides an accessible introduction to the foundations of the framework and the many ways UDL can help shape inclusive learning design. This new edition for 2025 offers a deep dive into UDL’s evolving landscape, with new chapters exploring CAST UDL Guidelines version 3.0. These new additions detail the comprehensive process to update the Guidelines, what’s changed and what hasn’t, and new developments in real-world implementation.
Throughout the book, readers will find insights into accessible materials, universally designed learning environments, the critical role of context, along with new strategies for scaffolding and UDL implementation. Case stories and reflections including fresh examples of UDL Guidelines 3.0 being brought to life reveal the many ways UDL profoundly impacts K-12 settings, postsecondary environments, career preparation programs, and more.
