Safety, accessibility, comfort, and convenience are expressed guiding principles. The 7 chapters in this book are; 1 - "Universal Design Promotes Safety," 2 - "Universal Design Has Huge Benefits," 3 - "Easy Universal Design Solutions," 4 - "More Extensive And Intensive Universal Design Solutions," 5 - "More Universal Design Safety And Convenience Strategies," 6 - "Universal Design On The Outside," and 7 - "Summary Of Universal Design For Safety."

Universal Design in Higher Education is a comprehensive guide for researchers and practitioners on creating fully accessible college and university programs. It is founded upon, and contributes to, theories of universal design in education that have been gaining increasingly wide attention in recent years.

This book provides both theoretical and practical guidance for schools as they work to turn this admirable goal into a reality. It addresses a comprehensive range of topics on universal design for higher education institutions, thus making a crucial contribution to the growing body of literature on special education and universal design. This book will be of unique value to university and college administrators, and to special education researchers, practitioners, and activists.
