If you want to develop a deep understanding of how to create accessible, effective learning environments using the UDL framework, Design & Deliver is your anchor. Read it first.
Michael Wehmeyer, University of Kansas - December 3, 2020
Accomplishes what the title promises: It delivers user-friendly, research-based, practice-oriented information for educators to implement UDL principles and practices. In a global educational context in which personalization and self-determined learning are increasingly expectations for the education of all students, Design and Deliver should be in the hands of every educator and administrator.

A must-have for every educator’s bookshelf, this primer for universal design for learning goes well beyond the conceptual framework. Each page brings UDL to life and into your practice.

What a timely and brilliant update! Truly valuable for practicing educators who are navigating learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Loui Lord Nelson always delivers!
Dr. Ron Rogers, Director of the UDL Center at OCALI - December 3, 2020
Dr. Loui Lord Nelson, an audacious and profound writer, packs this book with real-life examples and analogies while modeling universal design for learning. This book snaps and crackles with ideas...and magically draws you into the profound belief that all students can become expert learners. Every administrator, teacher, leader, and parent wanting to support expert learners should read and share this book.

An excellent tool....The practical strategies presented provide the reader with an opportunity to see what using UDL as the design framework looks like in practice.

Should be on the shelf of all new and experienced educators! Not only is it easy to read, it is organized and full of visuals that help drive home the information. Great new addition to the library of an educator.

Provides educators with timely, thoughtful, and relevant strategies for moving the theory of UDL into practice. This text is an essential read for any educator whose goal is to plan for the variability of learners through the design of flexible learning environments.

Dr. Nelson’s writing style [is] so apropos for teaching, modeling, and learning about UDL. This updated version has incorporated all the latest updates on UDL and reflects the current thinking of how we explore this for all lives in education. Looking forward to adding this one to my course reading list!
