Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
About
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework for increasing access to education environments and opportunities. This Head Start resource introduces its three principles and provides examples and questions to help educators consider how UDL can be incorporated into learning environments, activities, and interactions with infants and toddlers.
The resource covers:
- Representation: Multiple ways for children to learn new skills and information.
- Action and expression: Flexibility in how infants and toddlers demonstrate success and understanding.
- Engagement: Opportunities to build on infant and toddler development and interests and provide choices.
- Learning environments and activities: Questions to consider when designing environments, daily schedules, activities, transitions, and interactions with children.
- Family engagement: Questions for considering multiple ways families can participate and communicate.
The resource also connects UDL to related Head Start topics, including disability services, Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs), and children with disabilities.
